Footage importing incorrectly into Premiere?

This might be a bit of a weird question but let me explain what I am experiencing. I have a clip of footage that is about 1hour and 30 minutes long that I am attempting to edit in premiere.  I know that is a long clip but this is something we do on a weekly basis and have never had any issues with.

The clip was recorded in 29.97 fps and when I watch it back before importing it into premiere it looks great. However, no matter how I import it into premiere the footage suddenly gets interpreted as 14.99 fps. Then when I drag that footage onto the sequence and watch it back the Audio is completely normal but the footage is in slow motion. I have tried interpreting the footage in Premiere back to 29.97fps and when I do that the audio sounds like Alvin and the chipmunks and the footage become 45minuts long rather than the 1 hour and 30 minutes long that it is supposed to be.

Any suggestions or solutions are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Premiere Pro had an issue with interlaced media just as you describe.  I believe it was fixed with an update, so check your version.

    If you are a user of the Nikon or Blackmagic camera and your video is interlaced, you should observe some threads similar to your problem:

    It would be advisable to convert the file with the handbrake or return to an earlier version of the program.

      Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?

      Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... A screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing - For Windows Internet Explorer press the PRINT SCREEN button on your keyboard, and then do CTRL-V to paste the screen print from the clipboard into a forum message

      - when you analyze your file in MediaInfo and post a screen shot in the forum, do so in TREE view
