| Stand-Ins (1997) | Katherine Heigl, ND, Missy Crider, Sammi Davis (holder), Jordan Ladd, Daphne Zuniga "This one you should not miss. Here's the set-up: A group of six stand-ins/look-alikes for 30s movie stars (including the 4 smokers listed above, who play the stand-ins for Marlene Dietrich, Jean Harlow, Bette Davis, and Greta Garbo respectively) rent a bar for a day to celebrate the birthday of one of them. Whereupon, of course, for the next 90 minutes they proceed to talk, drink, and smoke up a storm. Hardly a smoke-free scene in the whole movie, with Marlene and Bette -- er, Missy and Jordan --particular standouts in terms of quality and quantity, although all four have their moments. Lots of gloves, lots of red lipstick, Sammi uses a holder, and all, of course, smoke unfiltered." "[Heigl] Picks up a cigarette near the end, and makes a move as if she is going to light it, but then puts it down and never lights it."
