The furniture in that house really shows that FLW knew what worked with that style.

Mishmash is the word for it!

I've seen it multiple times, all the sets and locations are wonderful, really capturing that 50s Hollywood era. I was especially impressed with the beach house, sort of like the Walker house but much bigger. Jess Gonchor, the production designer for the film, does a lot of the Coens movies.

I don't know if it has been sold or has just been taken off the market.

Lots of good observations here. Most of the questionable information on the page doesn't have any references, much less substantial ones. The Brendan Gill "Lincoln/Franklin" nonsense is obvious from reading his book—he posits both the "Frank Lincoln Wright" and "Franklin Lin...
