| Susannah of the Mounties (1939) | Shirley Temple, P "Temple (age 11) smokes an Indian peace pipe! At first, she likes it - later, it makes her dizzy." "she does it again, at the very end of the movie." "She puffs thrice on a more conventional pipe at about 27 minutes; her first try results in a nose exhale. At the very end she puffs on an Indian peace pipe. The viewer can decide if any of it is real." "A book I read many years ago (my best guess is that it was a biography of her) said the crew on this film tried to find ways to make it look like she was smoking without having her really smoke, but everything they tried looked too unrealistic. According to the writer, in the end they gave up and she really did smoke."
