Black/white-movie shown in colour-movie = ???
Hello (sorry for my english)!

I have 2 problems/questions, but they have the same general topic:

1.: In the movie What%27s Eating Gilbert Grape, the protagonists at some time watch an old black-and-white-movie. What's its name?

2.: In the movie 84 Charing Cross Road (film), the character Helene Hanff (played by Anne Bancroft) in one scene goes to a US-cinema and watches an old black-and-white-movie. What's its name? (As I have the DVD of "84 Charing Cross Road" at my hands, I can say that the cinema visit scene takes place at about minute 28 (PAL system UK DVD), and that in the closing credits of the movie DVD I found no hint concerning what b/w movie material it is.)

Thanks for your help!

P.S.: Maybe I'm allowed to invite/ask user in this way to here, in case he would like to contribute something to this? (As he knows "84 Charing Cross Road", as I learned from the reference desk archive search I did before, which showed no success to my questions, nor did a general internet search engine try by me.)

 * It's nice to be remembered, but sadly I don't remember that detail. A quick Google search isn't showing anything, but I'll have another try later. Alansplodge (talk) 12:47, 28 February 2019 (UTC)


 * www.imdb.com says for Gilbert Grape it's Indiscretion of an American Wife and for 84 Charing Cross Road it's Brief Encounter --TrogWoolley (talk) 12:51, 28 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Well done. According to this, Brief Enconter is also being watched in A Touch of Class, Truly, Madly, Deeply, The Mirror Has Two Faces, 'Til There Was You and Brick Lane as well as numerous television appearances. Alansplodge (talk) 17:16, 28 February 2019 (UTC)


 * TrogWoolley and Alansplodge, thank you so much for your work! It means a lot to me! I'd also like to thank you both for those website links - that's very helpful to me, I didn't know that there were that websites that contain such nitpicking informations I were looking at. I'm also glad about the website links because that could also help me in the future, if I should wonder about such detail things in a film again. Thank you so much! 2003:DF:AF1D:8600:B912:70EF:D654:1BB4 (talk) 13:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
