 The film is designed to emulate the look and feel of educational films from the period.Randolph Peters includes a flute and glockenspiel-based score emulating such films (the film concludes with a song based on this theme that discusses the possibility of Steven and Kim getting married sung by a small 1950s-style pop chorus).When Steven Penny is brought into some shady deals, the film takes on more of a neo noir look and sound, inflected with surrealism.
