The Hoax

The Hoax

The Hoax is a 2006 American drama film starring Richard Gere, directed by Swedish filmmaker Lasse Hallström. The screenplay by William Wheeler is based on the book of the same title by Clifford Irving. It recounts Irving's elaborate hoax of publishing an autobiography of Howard Hughes that he purportedly helped write, without ever having talked with Hughes. The film was ranked as one of the Top 10 of the year by the Los Angeles Times and Newsweek. The screenplay was considerably different from the book. Hired as a technical adviser to the film, Irving was displeased with the product and later asked to have his name removed from the credits.

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Think about this: Henry Miller was 38-years-old, unpublished.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.

Dick Suskind:
Cliff, you publish this you will have a storm of sh*t rain down on you.

Edith Irving:
You're always so careful when you talk, always so soft like a cushion for what you want. But I am leaving. But before I go, I give you something. You are exhausted from your lies. So tell the truth. Tell me the truth about what you did with her this time. It is your moment to be clean.

Clifford Irving:
I saw her.
