Quote :: Orson Welles' free-form documentary about fakery focusses on the notorious art forger Elmyr de Hory and Elmyr's biographer, Clifford Irving, who also wrote the celebrated fraudulent Howard Hughes autobiography, then touches on the reclusive Hughes and Welles' own career (which started with a faked resume and a phony Martian invasion). On the way, Welles plays a few tricks of his own on the audience

Except for Citizen Kane which I saw a long time ago, I do not know Orson Welles very much. This fake documentary is about fraud and fakery in particular in art. Quite interesting but also quite complex, not always very easy to follow cause Orson Welles seem to enjoy playing tricks with the viewers so it is sometimes quite hard to understand. So I think it would require to be seen more than once to fully get it. But quite good especially the editing!
