Two unusual features were: the pair of live chandeliers whose girls were draped in plastic swags, designed with the cooperation of Orry Kelly, and the stairway itself. This was so wired that the step of the singer on a tread hit the riser above. The two principal characters met at a Sidewalk Cafe then crossed the street past some Book Stalls and down a stone stair to the river level. In the background was the Bridge of Archevenche and the rear view of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Much attention was given here to the effect of night illumination on the Cathedral and to keep the spot as romantic a setting as possible. The top sketch is that portion of the set shot on a stage.
