Although the lead character in this surreal film was named Arthur Hamilton, Murray Hamilton played his best friend from youth, Charlie. This is a black and white film with surreal photography by the legendary James Wong Howe.
Both of Murray Hamilton's scenes are in the same room although we do hear his voice on the telephone a few times.
The title "Seconds" refers to a second chance, or two times around, and not an amount of time.
Murray Hamilton would have been 42 when this was filmed. He didn't do any onscreen smoking in this one.
Oscar Goldman had Robert Duvall's head! Who knew!
Murray's screen time:
His conversation with Rock Hudson is largely in whispers.
