Synopsis: In the early 70’s, Clifford Irving wrote and sold a bogus biography of billionaire aviator Howard Hughes to McGraw-Hill. He convinced the publisher that he'd developed a relationship with Hughes, who by that time hadn't been seen in public for years. Irving even forged documents that appeared to prove he had the ear of the billionaire. Even when Hughes emerged momentarily from seclusion for a telephone news conference to say the book was bogus, McGraw-Hill continued to stand by Irving, who stuck to his story until he finally had no choice but to cop to his crime. Irving was given a 2½-year jail sentence in 1972.

Comment: Based on Clifford Irving's published account of hoax. Disney picked up for Domestic distribution.
