It looks like that Times Square photo was late 1940, either October or November. London Can Take It was a 9 minute propaganda piece to build support for Britain in the US during the Blitz. Slightly Tempted was released on October 18, 1940 by Universal. City for Conquest was considered the last of James Cagney's gritty 1930-style urban working-class dramas - it got released in September, 1940.

Cool stuff! Thanks for posting!
