Down the Road from the Pink Pussycat – Revisiting “Eyes Wide Shut” – Google Maps Redux<\/em><\/p>\n

After the Greenwich anchor of 3rd and Sullivan in “Eyes Wide Shut”, Kubrick has Bill walking through a set version of the village. He follows this with a green screen of Bill walking past The Pink Pussycat, which was an easy place to find. However, there is something interesting going on as far as a difference between the street we see in the film and what we see on Google maps. <\/p>\n

You’ll notice in the above grab from the film, that we don’t seem to have an open road behind Bill, instead we have a “T” road with it ending at a building, and the taxis turn left at that point. In Google Maps we see no such building, nor does it look like there has ever been such a building there. So was it a facade put up for the shoot?<\/p>\n
