Preparing stage plans for the studio sets to be built on the Warner Brothers' Burbank lot, Gene Callahan and his art Director Hub Braden designed preliminary set plans with elevations of all the proposed stage sets. Viewing the original film on video, the original upstairs bedroom set was copied, rebuilt for the second film edition. The original film's set designs incorporated levels, with entrance doors requiring a door-step landing, to step down into the set, similar to a theatrical stage set plan. This step element was changed in this set by eliminating the step up hallway platform. Paper doll miniature sets were mounted and presented for discussion and final approvals by the director. Set Designers were then staffed with the commencement of drawing plans and elevations. All the New York sets were actual locations with no studio built scenery. Minor modifications and set dressing were added to all the interior and exterior location sights in New York. The Yaught interior was a Burbank stage set. The ship's interior lounge finish was a Phillipine Mahogany wood skin veneer finish. After the skin veneer was applied to the walls, after an over night stage closure, the veneer wrinkled due to the frigid stage temperature. When he stage was scheduled for filming the set, the stage heaters had to be continuously maintained to prevent the veneer from wrinkling.

When Arthur falls into the boiler room and crawls behind the machinery, the stunt performer stops when he thinks he's hidden, but his shoes and posterior are still visible to the camera. Even though we can still see him there, Arthur is already up and walking out of the place across the room from this.
