Down with Love
The main character Barbara Novak's apartment is a candy coloured sixties dream come true in this romantic comedy. Just look at those classic Eero Sarinen pink chairs.
In contrast the Batchelor Pad of Catcher Block, successful writer and notorious ladies man features more masculine elements such as angular design, smooth tiled wall and earthy tones of polished wood.
The Graduate
Unlike the first two films this film was made in the sixties. The interiors are authentic to the period rather than a stylised view of the era.
It tells the story of a college graduate seduced by an older woman who then falls involve with her daughter. Mrs Robinson's home features many of the hallmarks of the era. The bar stools are a classic Eero Saarinen design and just look at that shag pile carpet!
