I think the beginning of the secretary scene at the radio station is an homage to Edward Hopper's painting "Office at night".  I love that painting.

Her dress, particularly the collar, is the same.  Her pose at the filing cabinets when the Woodsman walks in is the same.  The desk layout - papers, lamp and phone - is the same, apart from the man at the desk being missing.

I was completely unaware of the painting - until it was mentioned on this forum yesterday!  Very educational, this place  🙂

Thanks Lynn, I didn't see Vincent's post earlier.  And thanks Pieter, for posting the pic.
