I can only think of one right now (teleadm beat me to To Kill a Mockingbird).
Anyway, in The L-Shaped Room (1962) Leslie Caron and Brock Peters share adjacent apartments in a boarding house in London. And from time to time they talk to each other through the walls. In some way this interaction provides an intimacy and tenderness they are not able to share face to face. I can't find any pix of that, but here's one of Caron, Peters, and Tom Bell, Caron's love interest. It's a beautiful and very moving motion picture, which I saw when it was first released, but loved it even more when I saw it again recently.
And I think this may be Brock Peters' side of a conversation with Caron on the other side of the wall. He's suffering in the scene.
Will ponder this subject some more.
