85347, Yeah, I think most people did take it seriously in the case of the movie.

All the reviews said it was a true story. I think it took about a decade for it to be generally understood that the movie wasn't a true story. The internet wasn't as big a thing back then, I guess.
Ironically, there's another story that an actual woman took the movie to be real and went looking for the bag of money, and died while searching for it. This story is also commonly believed, even today, but also not true.

When I started this reply I though that story had been true. I only learned just now that it isn't.
