 At least four paintings are recreated as "tableaux vivants" in the  film: "Hudson Bay Fur Company" (1932) and "20 Cent Movie" (1936),  both by Reginald Marsh, and "New York Movie" (1939) and "Nighthawks"  (1942), both by Edward Hopper. Three of the four were painted after  1934, when the movie takes place, and all depict scenes in New York,  not Chicago, the setting of the movie.
