As I a say - a movie demonstrated how it would wourk & look like.

As humman spaceflight goes, spin gravity has not been demonstrated in space yet. IIRC they wanted to try that with Gemini, same as with an early jet-pack, never actually got to it during that program.

But effects of spin/circular motion have been demonstrated - Gemini 8 almost spun the crew to their death due to a stuck RCS thruster & Skylab astronauts made a video of them running around the inside of the big circular living space inside the station.
