THE BENCH.
THE DANCE.
After the party, Mia and Sebastian search for their cars above Los Angeles. Their teasing becomes the film's hilltop tap number, staged on a switchback off Mt Hollywood Drive.
The movie's romantic blue streetlights and bench were production additions. The landscape is real; some of the objects that define the frame were not.
