Wesley Snipes as Noxeema and Alice Drummond as Clara on location in Loma, Nebraska

Loma's dilapidated appearance was exactly what Wynn Thomas was seeking to contrast with the glittery opening scenes in New York. "In this film, we've aimed for a sort of reverse of the scheme that was used in The Wizard of Oz," he explains. "New York is our Emerald City, so it's our opening that has that wild, dazzling Technicolor look. As Vida, Noxeema and Chi Chi leave New York and head into the heartland, the color palette begins to drain out and, by the time they reach Snydersville, things look very monochromatic. It isn't until the Strawberry Social that color comes back into the film in a big way."

As Thomas and his crew began constructing the few extra façades that would complete Loma's transformation to Snydersville, costume designer Marlene Stewart was devising the costumes that would be worn by the three stars.

A LONG WAY FROM  NOXEEMA!
