In 2009, Gergely Barki, an art researcher at Hungary's National Gallery, was watching the film with his daughter, and saw a painting on the wall in the background of the Little family's apartment. He recognized it as the long-lost work "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" by Robert Bereny, which Barki had only ever seen as a black and white photograph from 1928. Barki hunted the painting through the studio, finding it had been purchased from an antique shop, by an assistant to the set designer for $500 to use in the film. She then purchased it from the studio once the production was completed. The painting was sold by the American owner to a collector. As of 2014, the painting was to be auctioned in Budapest, with a starting price of 110,000 euros (130,000 US dollars).
