room. The double story technique which is followed through the movie was developed by Richard L. Bare, who wrote, produced and directed "Wicked, Wicked" with William T. Orr as executive producer. "We picked 'Wicked, Wicked' for the introduction of Duo-Vision for two reasons," Bare explains. 'It is a suspense drama of the psycho-killer genre and the entire action is laid in an old seaside resort hotel. The plot and the setting combined beautifully to make our dual screens work. "Although split screen sequences have been seen in the past and are still popular for such presentations as sports telecasts, "Wicked, Wicked" marks the first time that an entire movie has been filmed with parallel images," Bare says. "Although primarily it serves to depict simultaneous action," the director continues, "Duo-Vision also lends itself to showing truth and untruth, flashbacks in time, visions of the future or cause and effect without abrupt interruption of the story's main continuity. "As applied to 'Wicked, Wicked' the Duo-Vision technique involves an active screen and a passive screen, meaning that dialogue comes from only one screen at a time while silent footage unreels on the other so there is no dialogue confusion." Besides Miss Boiling, the "Wicked, Wicked" cast includes David Bailey, known to millions of TV viewers through those Mitchum deodorant commercials; newcomer Randolph Roberts and such familiar names as Edd Byrnes, Arthur O'Connell, Madeleine Sherwood, Scott Brady, Roger Bowen and Diane McBain.
