Dr. Strangelove: Original Split-Screen Interview

Posted on April 25, 2010 in Interviews | No Comments

During the era of “Dr. Strangelove” it was common practice for studios to film mock interviews with the stars of up coming films as a promotional tool. In many cases the stars would answer scripted questions that would be shown on split screen. The questions would then be filmed by a local interviewer and inserted into the split screen. Giving the illusion of a actual interview.

Below are the filmed responses by Peter Sellers and George C. Scott from the set of “Dr. Stranglove.” I guess you can fill in the questions yourself. ;)
