New York, New York - Martin Scorsese (1977)

I had seen this years ago, but finally noticed the placement/reference of famous paintings in the various set pieces: Rousseau, Mona Lisa, a portrait of George Washington. The sets are often theatrical flats rather than more realistic movie sets. Interestingly the film juxtaposes realistic method-style acting against these dream-like sets.
