Unbelievable how many people believe the fraudster, given that the convoy was totally unlike Stanley Kubrick. In addition, at the Conway it was a distinct British accent. But Kubrick - from Brooklyn. Conway, of course, tried to speak as an American, but he came out very important. However, Conway told everyone that shaved off his beard, and by the time Kubrick for a long time had a beard, without a beard, and very few people remember. But there was another problem: our hero is absolutely nothing about the films of Stanley Kubrick.
