in both the 1936 and the 1951 film versions of "show boat", as well as in the original stage version, the song "bill" is diegetic. the character julie laverne sings it during a rehearsal in a nightclub. a solo piano (played onscreen) accompanies her, and the film's offscreen orchestra (presumably not heard by the characters) sneaks in for the second verse of the song. julie's other song in the film, "can't help lovin' dat man", is also diegetic. in the 1936 film, it is supposed to be an old folk song known only to blacks; in the 1951 film, it is merely a song that julie knows; however, she and the captain's daughter magnolia are fully aware that julie is singing. when julie, queenie, and the black chorus sing the second chorus of the song in the 1936 version, they are presumably unaware of any orchestral accompaniment, but in the 1951 film, when magnolia sings and dances this same chorus, she does so to the accompaniment of two deckhands on the boat playing a banjo and a harmonica. two other songs in the 1936 "show boat" are also diegetic: "goodbye my lady love" (sung by the comic dancers ellie and frank), and "after the ball", sung by magnolia. both are interpolated into the film, and both are performed in the same nightclub in which julie sings "bill".
