Quote:
"You want to shoot in lower-angle light because of the beautiful, dramatic effect it creates [and because] most of the women [in The Company of Strangers] were more than 70 years of age, and we were filming during the hottest months. It simply wasn't advisable to shoot when the sun was at its strongest."
-- David De Volpi
