His detective instincts aroused, he discovers a strange story which happened in 1966: Paul McCartney died under mysterious circumstances and was replaced with a double by his manager, Brian Epstein. All the elements seem to match and Tobias starts to investigate the case, believing he is confronted with Paul McCartney's killer.
Hendrik Handloegten was born in 1968 and studied at the German Academy of Film & Television (dffb) in Berlin. His graduation film, Paul is Dead, went on to win numerous awards including the prestigious Adolph-Grimme Award in 2001, as well as earning him an invitation to the highly renowned Slamdance Festival that same year. In 1999, together with Achim von Borries, Handloegten also worked on the screenplay with Bernd Lichtenberg and Wolfgang Becker for Becker’s global success Good Bye, Lenin!. Learning to Lie was adapted to the big screen by Handloegten from Frank Goosen’s best-selling novel Liegen Lernen.From: www.german-cinema.de/archive/film_view.php?film_id=376 |

Don Knotts had preset surgery BEFORE he became Faux-Brian Epstein. So Don belonged to the group of doubles ALREADY set up by Brian Epstein before September 1966 (see Paul's statement in one of his last interview) Paul was kidnapped on September 11th. Brian and Ringo (and Mal Evans) flew back America to meet Billy There was fog upon L.A. Brian NEVER returned from that travel back in the U.S....A. "fixing a hole in the Ocean" ... It was Don who came England on 26th September Was that film true then?

Anyone seen it? Is it any good? An italian journalist wrote that film plot tells about Paul being kidnapped and then found dead after days.... ALL started from there. |

Brian was compelled by that situation. Maybe that was NOT his choice. |

I've been looking for this film for quite some time, it still eludes me, sorry to say.
Problem is, it can't be released on DVD because it uses so much Beatles music that he didn't quite secure the rights to. It's out there, it was shown on German TV, so it follows that some made a tape..
