Platinum Blonde (1931) | Loretta Young, Jean Harlow
[Young] "a few scenes. It is really rare to see her smoking in a movie, but she is really young in this one. The one scene that stands out is that she is smoking in a speakeasy with the lead character Stew Smith (Robert Williams). In fact when he catches her crying (she just found out that he had married [Harlow's] character), she says that it is just smoke in her eyes. Great movie."
"Four scenes with Loretta: the end of an exhale, a holding in the same hand as she uses her powder puff, a lighting for a male colleague with lots of smoke (she does not appear to inhale here, but licks her lips in appreciation as she passes it to him), and raising to drag as she lounges on a sofa. Jean holds in one scene, but keeps us waiting until later for a drag, expelling twin streams of thick leisurely exhale just inches from a guy's face."
"Can't really add much to the reviews here, except to say that to me it's striking how Young and Harlow play sophisticated, grownup adults here, and both are clearly experienced and expert smokers, despite the fact that Harlow in real life was 20 and Young was 18."
