Classic example of live television, 31 July 1999
Author: Randy H. Farb (rhfarb@yahoo.com) from United States

The director could not yell, "Cut!", so, when Peter Lorre's character dies, he lies there briefly. When he thinks the show is over, he gets up and walks off the set! He probably thought he was playing Rasputin. This is a prime example of the pitfalls of live television.
