| Bribe, The (1949) | Ava Gardner "A match flares in the shadow, illuminating the face of nightclub singer Ava, as her cigarette hangs sexily from her lips. The spotlight comes on as she hollows her cheeks to ignite it. She only partially inhales, but the side-on exhale is indicative of quality smoking. She takes a second drag between verses as she sings. She later gratefully accepts a cigarette, dragging and exhaling, after a swim."
