In 1971, Clifford Irving is set to become the most famous man in the
world. He has succeeded where so many have failed, to gain a
private interview with the multi-millionaire recluse Howard
Hughes. Irving has written up his revealing interview in a
book which publishers are scrambling to obtain the rights to. The
book will make Irving wealthy beyond his wildest dreams and the
mystique surrounding Hughes will finally be dispelled. There is
just one slight problem. Irving has never met the eccentric
businessman. His book is a work of complete fiction...

With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
