Millhouse: A White Comedy is a 1971 documentary by Emile de Antonio following Richard Nixon's political career from his election to the House of Representatives in 1946 to his election as President of the United States in 1968. The title is a pun on Nixon's middle name, Milhous. It begins with Nixon's "last press conference" in 1962 after his loss in the race for Governor of California in which he famously said, "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore."; then a collage of videos show Nixon's trajectory from his House campaign to his involvement in the Alger Hiss case; his 1947 congressional election red-bating win over Democratic incumbant Jerry Voorhis; his 1950 senatorial election red-baiting win over incumbant Helen Gahagan Douglas; his 1952 election to the Vice Presidency; his complete full Checkers speech; his campaigns for the presidency in 1960, for Barry Goldwater's presidential candidacy in 1964, and his triumphant election as President in 1968 as the "New Nixon". The film featured interviews but no voice-over.
