| 2,000 Women (1944) | Phyllis Calvert, Renee Houston, Jean Kent, Christiane De Maurin "Kent snaffles a cigarette from a German officer's desk, then smokes it through a long holder. Houston dangles and drags on dog-ends in several scenes, performing a natural nasal exhale and removing a flake of tobacco from her tongue. De Maurin asks a chauffeur for a light. Pride of place goes to Calvert who accepts a dog-end offered to her, drags, puffs out a thick cloud of smoke, then hooks the rest down with her tongue with obvious relish. A second similar drag follows. Real, rather than sexy, smoking."
