Secret Honor. 1983. USA. Directed by Robert Altman. 90 min.

Screenplay by Donald Freed, Arnold M. Stone, based on their play. With Philip Baker Hall. The restless surveillance of Altman’s camera is key to this effective adaptation of Hall’s ferocious one-man stage portrayal of disgraced ex-president Nixon. His fictionalized railing against exile from the seat of power has been likened to the director’s volatile feelings of estrangement from Hollywood in the 1980s. 35mm print courtesy the Robert Altman Collection at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
