Different time period

Does this movie take place in a different time period? I know the book was
made in 1945 and it looks like it takes place in a different time in the movie?
Is it true?

It doesn't look modern, looking at the clothes. I looks like it is from the 40s - 60s.

It probably does take place a while ago. Almost all the taxis are Checker cabs, and they have been hard to come by for a long long time. The last two or three were retired about four years ago.

The Littles are only old fashioned to show how prim and proper they are. Note that its actually the parents. Theyre Stepford parents in New York... It works.

I agree. Lots of intentional anachronisms here! The costumes are from 40's and 60's but they have remote control boats, and a seventies-style police station.

I think its one of those movies that doesn't really have a particular point in time. It's kinda like a made up world where everything is different like they way they dressed. Clearly some of the things in this were very modern, but then again there were also old things... a few movies have done this.

PS2, in fact. A good 45 years difference in time, from the October 26, 2000 release of the PS2.

I agree, it seemed like the time period was intended to be around the 50s or 60s because of the outfits.
