Trivia
E.G. Marshall was born less than a year after the real John Mitchell, and at 80 years old when he filmed the part, he was an older man than Mitchell ever was, who died in 1988 at age 75.
Warren Beatty suggested Joan Allen for the role of Pat Nixon. Allen was called to perform a reading of the script opposite Beatty, who was considering taking the titular role. Director Oliver Stone was so impressed by Allen's performance, he offered her the role.
Scenes which featured Sam Waterston as Richard Helms were deleted prior to the film's release but later reinstated on home video & DVD versions. At the time of the theatrical release, the real Richard Helms was still living and hotly objected to his portrayal in the film.
At about one hour 40 minutes in, when Nixon and his associates are discussing what to do about Daniel Ellsberg's leak of the Pentagon Papers and Nixon says to Kissinger "...this Ellsberg, wasn't he a student of yours at Harvard?" a long-haired crew member can be seen attempting to duck out of the right-hand side of the next shot.
Nixon says that Macmillan will attend JFK's funeral but at that time Macmillan had been succeeded as prime minister by Alec Douglas-Home and he attended the funeral, not Macmillan.
Presidential Lawyer St. Clair:
Sir, don't you think all these deletion marks in the transcripts make it look as though you do nothing but swear?

[Nixon awkwardly puts his arm around John Dean, his legal counsel]
Richard M. Nixon: John, I want you to get away from this madhouse, these reporters, and go up to Camp David for the weekend. And I want you to write up a report. I want you to put everything you know about Watergate in there.
