Morgan Fisher's interview was shot at Crossroads of the World in Hollywood, California on Sunset Boulevard the day before the 2009 Academy Awards Ceremony. The interview was frequently paused while waiting for news helicopters to finish flying above the studio.
Attempts were made to contact actress Marianna Hill for an interview for the documentary, but to no avail.
Both credited costume designers (Jodie Lynn Tillen and Oscar-nominated Rosanna Norton) were both contacted for interviews for the documentary. Jodie Tillen declined to be interviewed on the basis that she remembered being involved with the film, but had no specific memories of actually working on it. Norton, ironically, remembered knowing the film's writer-producer-director team (Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz), but denied working on the film. She surmised that she might have been given a token credit because she was running a garment shop at the time and knew the filmmakers.
