Wow, A1!That is amazing location work!My name is Jewels (Julie Cohen) I played Young Peggy in the film. I was going to respond to your earlier post asking about the rooftop scene, but when I kept scrolling down, I saw you had figured it out. Amazing!It was great for me when we filmed that scene because I was living in Soho at the time and walked about a half a block to go to work.One incredible thing to me was that the crew had to go around the neighborhood for a couple of weeks before the shoot and persuade people to let them take down their TV antennas. As you've said this was way before any CGI. Another great memory of shooting that scene-Denier came to the set that day for an old age make up test. I totally DID NOT recognize him!He watched us shoot the scene and afterwards gave me a hug (yes, a HUG!) and told me I did a good job. It meant so much to me....It was actually the only time I met him while working on the film. I'm really enjoying cruising around this board and I'm happy to answer questions about my experience working on OUATIA.Peace!
Thanks to Jewels we now know that the toilet scene was filmed at Cinecitta and the hallway scenes in Chinatown.The view from this window looks genuine and the bridge structure and height very similar to the Chinatown end of Manhattan bridge. Best guess at the moment is a building to the south of Henry St or Madison St

There's probably some signs of modern life behind this fence which have been temporarily covered up.
