Match Point (2005) | Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer
"[Johansson] Super sexy, about 4 or 5 scenes throughout the movie including inhales, lots of holding, and nose exhales. Very seductive...you won't be able to take your eyes off her"
"[Johansson] the only female smoking I saw other than Johansson was an extra sitting at a restaurant table. Perhaps the other reviewer mistook her for Mortimer."
"The only time we really see a couple of exhales is during Johannsen's first scene, in which she lights up almost immediately upon meeting with and starting to flirt with the male lead. It's a nice close-up but even here the exhales are interrupted by cutaways. The rest of the film consists mostly of holding. A couple of times, there are great-looking inhales, but either the editor cuts before the exhale, or it's one of those shots which stay on her for the length of her exhale yet there's no visible smoke. If Woody is indeed a fetisher, as some have suggested, he's keeping the best footage for himself!"
"The other brief and slightly out of focus shot of a woman lighting up is of a woman we've seen in a few scenes, a minor character but not just an extra."
"[Johansson] Very disappointing. Only four drags, including two (poorly-filmed) light-ups and no decent exhales. If you're watching this movie for the smoking, forget it."

Scarlett Johansson - Proof - "in the living room of the Regency suite DreamWorks had given her for interviews ... Scarlett chewed gum. In [Match Point (2005)] she puffed cigarettes. 'I actually do in real life', she said. 'But my character was neurotic, and Woody thinks smoking looks great on film. It was fake cigarettes in the scenes though because with take after take you couldn't inhale that much. The fact is, so much of it went on that when we shot in a small room we set off the smoke detector'", New York Post, Dec. 16, '05
