Synopsis

In London in the 1990s, a balding alcoholic with an unsteady American accent introduces himself in pubs and other social settings as Stanley Kubrick. Drinks and meals are suddenly on the house or paid for by an admiring person, usually a man, whose costumes, band, acting abilities or what have you, Stanley finds fascinating. He’s actually Alan Conway (1934-1998): we watch him parlay a self-confident manner and a small amount of movie knowledge into a persona whom others immediately hang their dreams on. In exchange, Stanley asks only that they pay the bill. Will he be exposed? Do prosecution and prison await? Or has the National Health something else in mind? —imdb

Not a great movie by any means. The concept is brilliant and Malkovich is hilarious.

    I was sure I would be greeted by this "great concept" thing when I read about this on IMDB... It sounds like it should be amazing! Have you read articles about this incident/situation?

Maybe it is just Malkovich, but I really enjoyed this movie, The idea that someone could con people by pretending to be Kubrick is funny in itself.
