The cinematography and visual presentation of the documentary was shot to match Douglas Sirk's Written on the Wind (1956) and Jean-Pierre Melville's Army of Shadows (1969). The background (Montreal's Jacques Cartier Bridge) was setup to hint at Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) (in place of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge).
The EP "The Last Great Torch Song" was written about and dedicated to Laura Dolgy.
