    • Trivia
      Architect William Krisel was still alive during production of the film and he had the producers jump through many hoops to prove that his participation was a value-add. Ultimately, he declined to be interviewed on camera, but did provide the end quote in the film for the producers to use, for which they are grateful.

    Brilliant!
    A totally brilliant and historical viewpoint of the Alexander Company and their infiltration into the Palm Springs housing market. So many in-depth interviews with people who worked for the company, knew the family and historians who are documenting the project. What started as an idea turned itself into an architectural movement which now populates the landscape of Palm Springs. I learned so many new and informative facts about the Alexander Company and their products. But, the BEST parts of the movie were the "House Tours" and seeing some really, really cool house and furnishings. Long live the mid-century homes!!! Please take the quick 45 minute tour of the homes that define Palm Springs!!
