	The Hoax \| Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
		Working with his partner and fellow author Richard Suskind, Irving concocted false interviews and forged letters to convince McGraw-Hill honchos that he had unprecedented and intimate access to one of the world's most neurotically reclusive figures.
		He and Suskind were confident Hughes would never poke his nose in public to denounce the book as a fraud.
		He found him in Richard Gere, who gives the performance of his life as man so seductive, confident and inscrutably driven that he winds up duping even himself: We see the wheels turning in his mind, processing chunks of reality and memory to form a new, more compelling version of events.

		Playing Irving, Richard Gere sets the tone of this satire when he explains to his friend and accomplice Richard Suskind (Alfred Molina) how he conned the editors at McGraw-Hill and Time.
		Although Suskind helped Irving pull off his scam, he was never in the same league as a supposed friend.
		The very fact that a non-talent like Richard Gere “stars” in it should be enough reason to yawn and move on to writing about something serious (let’s face it: a Laurence Olivier he ain’t).

		Richard Gere and Alfred Molina in "The Hoax."
		There's a great picture lurking somewhere in the story of how, in 1971, writer Clifford Irving (played here by a foxy, suitably charismatic Richard Gere) fooled both McGraw-Hill and Life magazine into believing that the reclusive, nutso billionaire Howard Hughes had chosen him, privately and mysteriously, to write his authorized biography.
		Irving, broke at the time and desperate for a book deal, kicked off the elaborate hoax by forging a series of handwritten communiqués, claiming they had been sent to him directly by Hughes.

	Hughes 'Hoax,' a tall tale retold - Arts & Leisure - International Herald Tribune
		Irving is still remembered as the writer who nearly pulled off one of the most audacious scams in publishing: an "autobiography" of Howard Hughes, based on in-person interviews of the reclusive billionaire, which was in fact completely bogus.
		"The Hoax," directed by Hallstrom, with a permed and sideburned Richard Gere as the '70s-era Irving, also stars Alfred Molina as Irving's co-writer and sidekick, Richard Suskind, and Marcia Gay Harden as Irving's wife, Edith.
		By far, the most radical element in Wheeler's script are scenes suggesting a connection between the Hughes "autobiography," Richard Nixon and Watergate.

		"Suskind and O'Neill's characterization of [the president's] domestic policy operation rings true," Bartlett wrote.
		Bush "has fostered a White House culture that contributes to error with a stifled internal debate, a decision-making process that seems to short circuit research and analysis, and an obsession with loyalty and secrecy that makes the Nixon White House appear as a model of openness and transparency." Read the full column here.
		Four U.S. Senators wrote to President Bush today urging him not to retaliate against Richard S. Foster, a government official and Medicare specialist who recently claimed that a senior administration official told him to withhold information from Congress.

		Welles' cinematic exploration of what constitutes authenticity was dramatically offset by the unravelling at the same time of Irving's own literary hoax, a ghosted 'autobiography' co-authored with fellow-New Yorker Richard Suskind, then living on Majorca.
		Following the tracing of the publisher's cheques to a Zurich bank account, Irving was sentenced in June 1972 to 30 months in a United States jail (he served 17 months, being released in February 1974); Edith Sommer spent 2 months in an American jail, and 14 in a Swiss jail (March 1973 to May 1974).
		Irving wrote a full account of the hoax with Richard Suskind, which has been published under three different titles: (1) Clifford Irving: What Really Happened: His Untold Story of the Hughes Affair (1972); (2) Project Octavio (1977); and (3) The Hoax (1981).

	The Hoax \| MTV MOVIES
		Director Lasse Hallström offers a brisk account of the scam that shook the literary community with this semi-comic biographical drama starring Richard Gere as the man who sold a fraudulent biography of Howard Hughes to publishing giant McGraw Hill.
		Later, almost jokingly, Irving and his best friend Dick Suskind (Alfred Molina) begin to fantasize about a scenario in which the author convinces his publishers that he has been personally selected by Hughes to pen the billionaire's memoirs.
		The revenge fantasy becomes a complicated reality, however, when Irving and Suskind approach skeptical McGraw Hill heavy Shelton Fisher (Stanley Tucci) with a series of forged letters presumably written by Hughes himself and offering unwavering support for the project.

		The movie is a fascinating and detailed account of how Irving tap-danced his way out of one tight spot after another while keeping the ruse alive and the checks coming amid a media frenzy.
		It's the same way he handles his researcher, Richard Suskind (the great Alfred Molina, often serving as comic relief), who's always ready to fall apart or confess.
		Incredulously, Irving accuses Suskind of being untrustworthy, even as he himself boldly lies to Suskind, to the publishing house and to his own wife (Marcia Gay Harden), to whom he has been repeatedly unfaithful.

		So, collaborating with Richard Suskind (Alfred Molina), another struggling author with felonious intent, Irving duped McGraw-Hill into believing that the eccentric hermit had actually cooperated in the creation of the bogus biography.
