In doing the interiors, Gonchor was careful to maintain sight of the film’s historical and geographical context. While it was set in the sixties, he explains, “This wasn’t New York or San Francisco in 1967. So I kept with those pale colors. I took a bit of liberty with Mrs. Samsky house, where we had some crazy orange interior wall paper. But the other stuff was subtle blues and greens.”
