| Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, The (1961) | Vivien Leigh, Lotte Lenya "An aging Vivien Leigh smokes in three or four scenes. Photography of smoking sequences could be better" "Vivien smokes long all-whites in eight scenes, including six lightings. There is a nasal exhale after a lighting if you watch carefully. One potentially good close-up is spoiled when she blows most of her smoke away without inhaling." "Vivien is on to the erotic effect of her smoking, at one point lighting up in front of a large nude male statue, which she eyes provocatively. In another scene, she tenderly rolls her unlit cigarette around in her fingers while seducing a young Warren Beatty."
