After spending waaay tooo much time "in the rabbit hole" on this one, My opinion is that it is a Norseman. Double brace wires that match a Norseman, stab position on the fuselage that matches a Norseman, stringers under the fabric that matches a Norseman. Tail wheel placement that matches a Norseman. Rudder that matches a Norseman. Fin that basically matches a Norseman with its' curvature. Enough pictures of parked Norsemen with (I assume) the gust lock engaged and the elevator closely in the neutral position.
The only detail that doesn't match is the leading edge of the fin at the bottom where it curves forward. Norseman goes straight down into fuselage.

Very well spotted! I didn't have seen it! Thanks!
Taking the view that it is a prop, the first versions of the real plane, contemporary with the movie, seems to show a very light curve on the leading edge botton, maybe somehow they exagerated this feature...
