Hangover Square is by Eddie Sauter, so it is not, I believe, from the 1945 adaptation of the Patrick Hamilton novel but instead only shares the title.

Portrait of Johnny Richards, Eddie Sauter, Ralph Burns, Neal Hefti, George Handy, and Edwin A. Finckel, Museum of Modern Art, New York, N.Y., ca. Mar. 1947

This black and white image appears to be a vintage photograph from around 1947. It captures a moment where five men are gathered in what seems to be an office or study. The setting is professional, with each man dressed in business attire, including suits and ties. One individual is holding up a newspaper for the others to look at, suggesting a shared interest or discussion point.

The men are seated around a large painting, which is hung on the wall behind them. The artwork features a group of figures that appear to be dancing or performing, adding an element of visual interest and potentially cultural significance to the space.

The photograph has a historical feel to it, with its composition, attire of the subjects, and the style of the furniture contributing to its vintage appearance. The absence of color in the image reinforces the impression that this is an old photograph, possibly documenting a professional meeting or a social gathering involving important figures from a specific period.
