Не поняла я в чем прикол этого фильма, хоть и с технической стороны он реально интересен.
Но а так я вообще разок только посмеялась. Не понимаю ...

To create authenticity, the production used actual lenses, cameras and sound equipment
from the 1920s, and used the exact same lighting that would have been done.
In addition, 'Gordon Willis' took the exposed negatives to the shower, and stomped on them.

In order to help create the look of genuine footage from the 1930s, DuArt,
the lab that handled processing, called some of their experienced technicians
(who were experienced with processing techniques of the 1930s) out of retirement.

Because it took so long to match Woody Allen to the old newsreel footage,
Allen managed to film and complete A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy and Broadway Danny Rose, in the time it took to complete this.
He later claimed that there is no mechanical way to 'age' film, so they would either scrunch the negative up, or stomp on it.

Woody Allen originally wanted Greta Garbo to be one of the people interviewed.

At the time Woody Allen's friend Dick Cavett was hosting a series of Time-Life historical specials for HBO
in which a process was used to insert Cavett into archival footage.
The process so intrigued Allen it became the impetus for making this film.

The house in the closing scene is the same house used as the location for A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy.
