The Münchhausen film was directed by terry Gilliam, also of Monty Python. I think it's called "The Adventures of Baron von Munchhausen."
But I thought Münchhausen's Syndrome was when a person deliberately makes himself ill for the attention. It's different from malingering in that the person is truly sick, and different from hypochondriasis as well. An example might be a person who injects dirty bath water into his veins in order to contract an infection.
Münchhausen's Syndrome By Proxy is an unusal disorder in which a person makes another person ill, such as a child, in order to receive the attention.
...Actually I just made all this up because I am a pathological liar.
