"Why fall in love with a broad you can trust?  That’s like reading a book you already know the ending to."

Charlie's private detective office is located in the heart of Hollywood on the second floor overlooking Sunset Boulevard. We wanted the iconic office you find in all the great classics from the period. In the daytime, light would come flooding through the venetian blinds and at night neon signs from across the street could be visible through the big windows. This environment really belongs to Charlie's secretarty, Ida.  She is very resourceful and uses a great variety of devices and equipment to solve cases.

Krystyna's original model for the office.

As the case develops Ida acquires more evidence and the office becomes more cluttered. The Art Department found great set peices for the desk, the back table and evidence board.
