"This is an example of screenwriting and what happens to screenwriters," says Lem Dobbs before noting a specific moment in the film he doesn't like. Dobbs imagined Jenny's picture in Valentine's house as one picture in a group of them, probably down a long hallway. Steven Soderbergh has it as the only picture at the top of the stairs. Dobbs sees the picture by itself, almost something Valentine keeps where it is as guilt, as the difference between what screenwriters feel is real and what production designers and directors think looks good. He also sees it as "how, as Lawrence Kasdan, I think, once said and as every screenwriter has said, a screenplay can be filmed sometimes word-for-word the way you write it and still be completely not what you have in mind". Soderbergh casually mentions it wasn't a location in which a long hallway of pictures would work.
