In the film, the construction of the house is geared to a love affair between Douglas and Kim Novak, with the final scenes filmed at the house the day it was completed. In fact, in order to keep pace with the plot, some portions of tlte home had to be built almost overnight.

Watching the house in the movie go up, the average citizen is bound to get ideas for his own inevitable dream house: ideas from the exotically oriental style; from the materials used (predominantly wood) and the ways in which wood so beautifully combines with other building materials. And' he'll get a much better view than the usual "sidewalk superintendent" gets, since the movie takes him right up close to the actual hammer-and-nail operations and through to completion of the house.

Basic framework of the house is stud walls with plank-and-beam roof and ceiling, but applied with new ideas and considerable imagination to have audiences ooh-ing and ahhing. The laminated wood beams, for example, permit gteater spans than standard roof systems, and the dramatic nesting of the structure's six levels creates a gTandeur that outstrips most houses of comparable size.
