Here are a couple more screengrabs from Kubrick's The Killing. [1956]
In this scene we're inside the Hollywood Bus Station on Vine St.

I'm curious about the blank clock face.
Does it just look blank because of a reflection or is it something other than a clock. . .like a light fixture? 
The scene begin at 44:40
As Sterling Hayden's character is walking out I believe we get a glimpse of the door that leads to the recently discussed Grapevine Room. (far right / just past the cigarette machine)
The faceless 'clock' also appears in a later scene at 47:17

I don't remember a doorway connecting the two businesses in 1972.
With children in the bus station, any connecting door with a bar is not a good idea imo.
If there was a connecting doorway, its totally
irrelevant to the movie and to this blog.
I was in both the bar and the station in 1972 and I don't recall any doorway but there may have been one. its way past being of any consequence.
