You can’t tell from the Movie Theater what’s unsuitable about the apparent romance between the characters, but the woman is conflicted about moving forward with it. You can tell that the movie is black and white, takes place on a train, and stars a woman famous enough to take up the entire poster.

My first pick might be Roman Holiday—it checks all the boxes except the train. I don’t remember it very well but I remember thinking it was cute. And who doesn’t love Audrey Hepburn with proto-George Clooney?

My second pick is Murder on the Orient Express, which I saw more recently and remember in black and white, even though apparently it’s actually in color. This one is set on a train and has several famous actresses… but no “unsuitable” romance as far as I can recall.

There are surely many qualifying movies out there. Pick your favorite(s)!
