TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

With the exception of Ginny and Humpty's apartment, the movie was shot entirely on location at Coney Island. Many of the existing businesses were altered to resemble shops or restaurants from the 1950s.

Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro took inspiration from the Coney Island paintings of artist Reginald Marsh in creating the look for the film.

The title, Wonder Wheel, in addition to referring to the Coney Island Ferris Wheel, is metaphorical for the characters' behaviors and mindsets. When describing the title, Woody Allen stated "The view is beautiful from the Wonder Wheel, but you're going no place. It has an element of romance to it, an element of beauty to it, but ultimately, an element of futility."

Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro created a contrasting color scheme between the two main female characters. Ginny has a warmer red/orange palette resembling the sun and symbolizing her attachment to the past. For Carolina, lighter shades of blue were used, symbolically linking her to the future in accordance with the "magic hour," the time between the sun setting and the moon rising.

Set on Coney Island in the 1950s, the Wonder Wheel is still in operation, but the Parachute Drop, seen in the background, ceased operation in 1964 and survives only as a tower. It's nicknamed the Eiffel Tower of Brooklyn.

Popular Dialogues

"Mickey: Jesus, what a sheltered life I've led. I have book knowledge but you've really tasted life. Carolina: You've been round the world. Mickey: Yeah, but you've been around the block. You think you'll always be looking over your shoulder? Carolina: Everybody dies, you can't walk around thinking about it. Mickey: You're talking to a lifeguard."

"Ginny: Oh, God. Don't tell me you got me a present. Carolina: How often do you turn 40? It's a milestone! Ginny: It's a tombstone!"
