The film is shot with a clear emphasis on prestigious New York addresses to support the story of an unconventional wealthy guardian raising her young nephew against conservative expectations. The production uses recognizable Manhattan exteriors to quickly establish social status and neighborhood character, then relies on interior scenes focused on acting and formal meetings to highlight the conflict between bohemian freedom and traditional control.
