It's True!

In the early 1990s, a con artist named Alan Conway frequented the London entertainment scene claiming to be the legendary film director Stanley Kubrick, and temporarily deceived New York Times theatre critic Frank Rich, as well as multiple aspiring actors. Kubrick's personal assistant, Anthony Frewin, who helped track Conway down, wrote the screenplay for a film based on the Conway affair “Colour Me Kubrick”, starring John Malkovich as Alan Conway. Conway was earlier the subject of a short documentary film “The Man Who Would be Kubrick”.
