In London in the 1990s, a balding alcoholic with an unsteady American accent introduces himself in pubs and other social settings as Stanley Kubrick. Drinks and meals are suddenly on the house or paid for by an admiring person, usually a man, whose costumes, band, acting abilities or what have you, Stanley finds fascinating. He's actually Alan Conway (1934-1998): we watch him parlay a self-confident manner and a small amount of movie knowledge into a persona whom others immediately hang their dreams on. In exchange, Stanley asks only that they pay the bill. Will he be exposed? Do prosecution and prison await? Or has the National Health something else in mind? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

Trivia
Jim Davidson met Alan Conway who pretended to be Stanley Kubrick. He even bought him dinner at a hotel in Devon, and was impressed that it took "lots" of takes to get the opening scene of Full Metal Jacket (1987) right.

Quotes
Alan Conway: The trouble with Marlon is that he thinks he's Brando.

Crazy credits
Epilogue: "Alan Conway escaped prosecution. He returned to his flat in Harrow, where he died of a heart attack in December 1998. Stanley Kubrick died three months later."

8/10

A wonderful film,,,,,,,,,

I saw the trailer for this twice in a theater, and was truly underwhelmed. Although I LOVE Kubrick, and I read the original article over ten years ago, the trailer turned me off, so much so, I had no desire to see the film. It opened and closed in Los Angeles, one theater, one week, which is not a good omen. Then I rent it,,,,,,,,,, IT"S GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a really funny, very clever film, about how people would want to believe this guy, and do anything to get close to him, all because they love Kubrick and his films. I've read some really nasty criticisms, that make no sense to me. No, there's no explosions, no special effects, no incredible fight scenes, no car chase, there's just a wonderful little story based on real life, that's great. RENT THIS,,,,,,OR BUY IT!!!!!!
