Bill, you might take a look at Pedro Almodovar's films for other  
examples.  Two that I can think of offhand are his use of ALL ABOUT  
EVE in ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER and Bunuel's THE CRIMINAL LIFE OF  
ARCHIBALDO DE LA CRUZ in LIVE FLESH.

Quoting "W. McCarthy" <[log in to unmask]>:

> I wonder if someone would be kind enough to direct me toward any studies --
> or even mere lists of examples -- which have been made of the incorporation
> of images of a TV (and/or cinema) screen into a film's narrative -- screen
> within a screen, that is. What I have chiefly in mind are complex examples
> such as Arturo Ripstein's Así es la vida, Stone's Any Given Sunday,
> Cronenberg's Videodrome, Dassin's Dream of Passion, etc., in which the
> screen's images are somehow integral to (or make ironic comment upon) the
> on-going narrative. In Any Given Sunday, e.g., Wyler's 1959 Ben-Hur plays on
> a screen in order to produce an ironic atmosphere in a key scene. However,
> any instance, even incidental, in which a TV or film screen is incorporated
> would interest me.
