DVD Savant: PARALLAX VIEW: The Incredible Montage

DVD Savant: PARALLAX VIEW: The Incredible Montage: "It's a bizarre moment that is remindful of a number of 'interactive' precedents. The rigged chairs for the 'Percepto' effect of William Castle's The Tingler come to mind. Also, on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood was a theater called The Preview House where each seat had buttons in the armrests to measure viewer responses to movies and commercials. Beatty's Guinea Pig situation might also remind us of the mindbending torture endured by agent Harry Palmer in The Ipcress File,, or the involuntary reprogramming undergone by Droog Alex in A Clockwork Orange."
