Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Early in 1971, the McGraw-Hill publishing company passes on Clifford Irving's new novel. He's desperate for money so, against the backdrop of Nixon's re-election calculations, Irving claims he has Howard Hughes' cooperation to write Hughes's autobiography. With the help of friend Richard Suskind, Irving does research, lucks into a manuscript written by a long-time Hughes associate, and plays on corporate greed. He's quick-thinking and outrageously bold. Plus, he banks on Hughes' reluctance to enter the public eye. At the same time, he's trying to rebuild his marriage and deflect the allure of his one-time mistress, Nina van Pallandt. Can he write a good book, take the money, and pull off the hoax?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The real-life story that this film depicts unfolded as Orson Welles was making his film F for Fake (1973) in which the real Clifford Irving appears. Because of Irving's new-found notoriety, Welles was obliged to add some additional footage to his film. See more » |
| Goofs | About 12 minutes into the movie before Irving is to meet with McGraw Hill, there is a southerly view of Manhattan with the Empire State Building in the foreground. In the distance looking toward lower Manhattan are the buildings of the World Financial Center. These buildings did not exist in 1971. Also, in 1971 the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center would be visibly under construction albeit not very tall at that time. See more » |

| Quotes |
Clifford Irving:
Bumped by this adolescent coffee boy. My lit professor at Cornell compared me to Hemingway! The middle of my life is at hand, and I don't have a couch. Dick Suskind: Think about this: Henry Miller was 38-years-old, unpublished. His wife left him for a lesbian. Clifford Irving: You're kind to tell me that, Dick. You're a very good man. You're a good friend. Need a loan? Dick Suskind: Always. See more » |
