According to the inflation calculator $1.00 in 1965 is equivalent to $5.96 in 2005, or to look it at the other way...what costs $1.00 in 2005 would have cost $0.17 back in 1965.

According to director Norman Jewison, the film was set in the mid 1930's when $5000.00 would have purchased a home in Beverly Hills.

I remember paying 33c a gallon for gas in 1965. $7.00 filled the tank on my Buick. I made 110.00 dollars a week in 65 and that was good money for an average job. My rent was 115.00 a month.
