Split Screen S04E11 · Projections: Walter Bernstein

Overview

Of all Projections interviews, Walter Bernstein’s tales are the stuff of a grand movie adventure. From WW2 hero/correspondent to Hollywood Blacklist in five years, both his script for THE FRONT and memoir INSIDE OUT illuminate that era, while FAIL SAFE captures the nail-biting fear of nuclear annihilation.
