| Mouton enragé, Le (1974) | Romy Schneider "Takes a single drag, but her hand conceals her mouth" "This looked like a winner in the video store -- a French black comedy, from the 70s, with Romy Schneider and Jane Birkin? Bring it on! Alas, there's not much here. Schneider smokes in 3 or 4 scenes, but with only a few drags and one visible exhale, partially obscured by her hand. Birkin once takes a cig offered by a female friend, but the scene cuts away at that point; she may also be smoking in a restaurant, as we see cigarette smoke rising in front of her, but no cigarette or other sign that she's smoking. Another actress holds in one extended scene, and there's a bit of background smoking by extras here and there, but overall this was quite disappointing."
