When Walt Disney faked a meeting with Prokofiev

When Walt Disney faked a meeting with Prokofiev

The Hollywood illusionist made a film of himself meeting, supposedly, the composer of Peter and the Wolf.

You don’t have to look too closely to see that it’s not Prokofiev but a body double.

He was a composer called Ingolf Dahl, a Stravinsky assistant well known in Hollywood.

This is what they did before they hd AI.

Worth watching, nonetheless.
