The Hoax
“Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.”
ComedyDrama
In what would cause a fantastic media frenzy, Clifford Irving sells his bogus biography of Howard Hughes to a premiere publishing house in the early 1970s.
VIBE
A slick, talky caper about a con man's audacious literary scam. It's a witty, cynical dive into the media circus of the '70s, where truth is a flexible concept and ambition knows no bounds. A charmingly roguish ride.
