Other mistake: The Sydney harbor scenes have the backdrop of the opera house. The buildings (aka "The Toaster") beside the opera house were not completed until 1998. The film was set in 1976-77.
Frost/Nixon (2008)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Kevin Bacon, Sam Rockwell, Oliver Platt, Frank Langella, Michael Sheen
Revealing mistake: While Frost is on the hotel balcony talking on the phone to Brennan, it is clear the phone receiver is not attached to anything.
Richard Nixon: I let them down. I let down my friends, I let down my country, and worst of all I let down our system of government, and the dreams of all those young people that ought to get into government but now they think; 'Oh it's all too corrupt and the rest'. Yeah... I let the American people down. And I'm gonna have to carry that burden with me for the rest of my life. My political life is over.
Trivia: Both Frank Langella and Michael Sheen played their respective roles in the original Broadway production.
