The real floor

Forty-five minutes among real traders

Movie-Locations.com says the real trading floor was used, with real traders, and that Stone had 45 minutes to film.

Wikipedia says Lipper’s involvement helped Stone get permission to shoot on the exchange floor during trading hours.

The building at 18 Broad Street was dedicated on 22 April 1903 and designed by George B. Post. Its main trading floor is about 15,000 square feet and was originally the boardroom.

Not open for visits. The front on Broad Street and the corner with Wall Street are public streets.
