If "The Gong Show" host/creator Chuck Barris hadn't claimed to have been a CIA assassin in his spare time, no one would have bothered making a movie about him. Whether Barris was just telling tall tales in his 1982 autobiography "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" is almost beside the point. Without self-invention, there would be no Hollywood, so why shoot down a good yarn? (Full review)
