| Cocoanuts, The (1929) | Kay Francis "There seems to be lots of gratuitous smoking, esp. by the actress playing the jewel thief, going on here. She does her best to look like a bad girl." "In the opening number we see one of the extras sitting in a lawn chair, in front of the exercising girls, provacatively lighting up with a handsome lighter, and issuing out a great exhale. Not to be missed!" "The lovely, willowy Kay Francis smokes at :08 (on the hotel patio), at :38 (in her room), and briefly at 1:31 (at the end of the film.) Light-ups in the first and last scenes, and extended scenes in the first two. Several inhales and exhales in all. Splendid in every way."
