Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1984 film by Robert Altman, starring Philip Baker Hall as former U.S. President Richard Nixon, written by Donald Freed and Arnold M. Stone and based on an earlier play by the author.The movie is essentially a ninety-minute one-man performance, based around Nixon — at some point following his resignation in disgrace after the Watergate scandal — dictating into a tape recorder in his study for an unseen aide, 'Roberto', with a bottle of liquor and a loaded revolver. While the subject matter begins rather mundanely, Nixon's train of thought tends to wander, leading him into an increasingly rambling, heated monologue about his life, political career and political enemies, aimed at an unseen (and presumably non-existent) judge and jury, gradually building to an undisclosed hidden truth about Watergate and the real circumstances behind his resignation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Cluster F-Bomb: Nixon scatters these throughout the monologue. They're usually aimed at targets such as Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and his brothers, Henry Kissinger and the American public in general. | |

| Secret Honor / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Subverted. Nixon nearly shoots himself in the head at the climax, only to change his mind and decide to continue living simply to spite his enemies. | |

| Secret Honor / int_91a2039b | comment |
I Am the Noun: Nixon rants on how he is the embodiment of the American Dream, which is true in a twisted sort of sense. | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Nixon occasionally intersperses shocking political revelations with mundane instructions to buy the hospitalized wife of his gardener a portable radio or a fruit basket. | |
