Didn't think artists lived in commercial lofts that long ago, although Bette explains that that's the sort of people who do the first time she brings Henreid there.

The set for Christine's apartment was based on Lenny Bernstein's New York penthouse apartment, according to Irving Rapper - even down to details like the trash cans!

Really? Did Bernstein have a gigantic glass wall with such little steel in it, it could never support itself?

No...that's pure Warner Bros...

The best part of this film was that apartment. :-D

It looks familiar - was it recycled in Rope two years later?

No, but it was redressed and reused as Eve Arden's luxurious Wilshire Boulevard apartment in The Unfaithful (1947).

Can you please share with me where you got that information? I'm somewhat obsessed with movie interiors and these two (the same...?) are so great!

It still looks stunning and I'd love to copy it, down to the candelabras!

[–] EliotTempleton 9 years ago

I agree.

It's a dream of a spacious apartment but I would feel uncomfortable living there. It's that big window which would give me the creeps. It's good to see the city landscape and the pouring battering it on film. But I couldn't live with it in reality.
