| Other Love, The (1947) | Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Lorring "Stanwyck smokes in a variety of scenes. Some excellent inhale/exhale sequences. Lorring smokes very briefly in only two scenes with one good exhale in each." "An opening scene in which Barbara inhales four drags as she discusses an x-ray: 'Are my lungs photogenic?'! She lights up again immediately after more radiology. Later, she picks up her cigarette case and prepares to light her breakfast, but the doctor instructs her not to smoke while at the sanitarium. When the craving finally gets to her, she asks for a cigarette and sucks it down real deep with evident satisfaction. Many other scenes, including a really smoky one at the casino, with thick twin nasal jets being exhaled. Joan lights from a candle with a voluminous side-on exhale."
