Just chiming in here on the clock (yeah; lame pun). I collect vintage art deco/moderne clocks and have a couple of these early digital ones, one identical in styling to the one in the film - still works - only a wood grain case instead of white (could have been painted wood or bakelite in the film). Don't know the manufacturer; it no longer has a label or tag.
There were quite a number of them at the time; you can often find similar ones from various makers (Telechron, Pennwood, etc.) on Ebay. Thought this clock was so cool when I first saw the movie at age 10 (the bedroom furniture ain't bad, either), and hoped to have one someday. Took 45 years, but now I do!
Poe! You are...avenged!
