The Hoax*
(US 2006)
In 1971 Clifford Irving goes to elaborate lengths to write a fake autobiography of Howard Hughes.
The manner in which the authors attempt their con never seems to convince, but the truth, as they say, is stranger than fiction. Reasonably well performed and conveyed of the period, with some speculative scenes involving shady characters allegedly connected to Howard Hughes.
Written by: William Wheeler, from the book by Clifford Irving.
Producers: Mark Gordon, Bob Yari, Betsy Beers, Leslie Holleran, Joshua D. Maurer.
Director: Lasse Hallstrom.
Starring: Richard Gerem Alfred Molina, Marcia Gay Harden, Julie Delpy, Hope Davis, Stanley Tucci, Eli Wallach.
Photography: Oliver Stapleton.
Music: Carter Burwell.
+ Irving's adventures were also covered in entertaining semi-documentary fashion by Orson Welles in F for Fake
