    EXCELLENT job on this one, including the harder-to-identify Paris and Los Angeles locations, and for knowing which were soundstage sets (the interior of Babe's apartment was one of those, not a real location. The bathroom scene gives it away.) The Interior of Elsa's apartment building corridor looks like a real location, but clearly not inside the E 76 St exterior location - it's very roomy, with two stairwells, and reminds me of some old Ivy League dormitory building at Vassar I once visited. Maybe it was also filmed at USC, like the library interior. Karl and Erhart beat up Babe and Elsa on a path through The Ramble, a few dozen yards north of the Bow Bridge, even though the previous shot shows them all walking in the opposite direction at Cherry Hill. I am still curious about the interiors of Szell's bank. The Deposit Box vault looks like a real place, likely inside the Spring Street LA location, but the privacy booth is more likely another soundstage set allowing them to light and film it without obstruction.

      Yeah, I'm on the same page with you on pretty much every point. I was always curious on Elsa's building corridor... like you said, looks real. I guessed that it was maybe at E 76th Street but since the building appears to be long-vacant (and likely slated for demolition) we'll probably never know for sure.

      @@gluecement Elsa's building's corridor just looks too large to be inside a Manhattan walk-up apartment building, especially since it appears to have more than one stairwell. Real places like that in NYC tend to have a narrow corridor and a single narrow stairwell. The extra security hardware fastened to her apartment door also suggests a real location rather than a stage set. Slesinger also shot Midnight Cowboy mostly on location but chose to film some of the smaller interiors on a stage, as he did here.

    70s paranoid thrillers might just be the best genre ever. ❤

      The very last one was _Blue Thunder_ and it dragged the genre all the way to 1982.

      Thanks... it's always tricky using music that isn't technically period-accurate, but hopefully does justice to the film.

    Trees ruin everything for Then and Now lovers. There is no reason for so many covering buildings. They don't belong where they are stuck in a little sidewalk causing so many issues. It's sad. Great video.

    It's fun how it's supposed to be a summer heat wave, but everyone is in suits, sweaters, turtlenecks, overcoats, and sheepskin jackets while their breathing steams the freezing air!

      It's supposed to be Autumn. The unseasonably warm day 1 of the story is Yom Kippur, remember? That can't come any earlier than Sept 14, as it did when they shot the picture in 1975. And the start of the semester for Babe's grad studies. At Szell's brother's house the trees have all dropped their leaves already and the mature sunflowers have begun to wilt like it's the end of October.
