Movie playing in the theater


What was the movie they were watching towards the end in which people were burning books? Is that a reference to Fahrenheit 451, which Truffaut went on direct in 1966, just 4 years after J&J?

It was a newsreel depicting the Nazi book burnings.

No, it dates the last part of the film as 1934.
