Six Degrees of Separation - Movie

 1993.

Amazingly, its based on a real life incident. A conman by the name of David Hampton conned rich people in Manhattan by posing as the son of Sidney Poitier. So convincing and charming was he that the couple allowed him to stay the night in their apartment only to wake up in the morning to find him in bed with another man. The victims spoke about it to their friend John Guare who was a playwright and lo, it became a play and was adapted into a movie. Will Smith plays the young conman who cons rich Manhattanites. Very interesting.
