"[Blyth] smokes as Crawford's [Joan] rebellious daughter"
"[Crawford] fires up ... when she returns from Mexico and at the very end when she is contemplating killing her second husband"
"Lots of smoking in this picture. Crawford smokes throughout, as a sophisiticated business woman, very IRL, many deep inhales, smoke talk, nose exhales. Blyth smokes a few times. Probably not IRL yet. Arden smokes with Crawford at the office in one scene, no real exhales shown, but a few good holds and inhales."
