Set Makes Absolutely No Sense!

This is a great, great film, but Wilder and his set designer concocted
a set-piece that is blatantly senseless! The doctor's apartment
goes straight into Baxter's kitchen and bedroom. There are even windows
that look out - into the doctor's apartment. I know I'm knit-picking, but
so many scenes involve Baxter running in and out of his apartment; the
doctor opening his apartment door - with a long, FLAT wall. But in
Baxter's apartment, this common-wall has windows. Pretty obvious and
pretty bad. But then again, Wilder insisted on ANOTHER ridiculous
apartment set-up in 1944's "Double Indemnity:" Walter's apartment door
opens OUTWARD. Yeah, it's effective when Phyllis hides behind it, but
restaging could've worked out that kink. Let's face it: Wilder did it
HIS way. Even when it made no sense. Big blooper in an otherwise
classic film.
