| Biography (TMDB): | Romy Schneider (born Rosemarie Magdalena Albach, 23 September 1938 – 29 May 1982) was a German-French actress. She began her career in the German heimatfilm genre in the early 1950s when she was 15. From 1955 to 1957, she played the central character of Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the Austrian Sissi trilogy, and later reprised the role in a more mature version in Visconti's Ludwig (1973). Schneider moved to France, where she made successful and critically acclaimed films with some of the most notable film directors of that era. |

Boccaccio '70

smokingsides
Film consists of 4 separate segments of 40 or so minutes each, each featuring a different actress. In Romy's, she plays an elegant upper-class woman and has a long scene in which she's smoking at the beginning, finishing that cigarette and then lighting another Marlboro Red later in the scene. She takes short drags more or less continuously -- I didn't count, but there must have been 10-15 drags/exhales. She also talks while dangling at one point. Many of her exhales aren't the most visible and some closeups would have been nice, but this is definitely worth a look. |
C%sar et Rosalie

one very good lighting (after 18 min), 2 other scenes |
Choses de la vie, Les
|
smokingsides
Massari takes four drags in one scene, lights an all-white in the street in the very next, and asks for a cigarette later on. There is a close-up of Romy lighting a standard filter in a restaurant, followed by four drags and natural nostril-exhales. She is also seen smoking at a party, but at no stage are the drags heavy. |
Important c'est d'aimer, L'
|
smokingsides
lights up in one scene, but the camera is pretty far away. Shortly holds in two later scenes. |
Innocents aux mains sales, Les
|
smokingsides
The ever beautiful Romy stages a great smoking show! Remarkable! I've missed the first 20 minutes, but there are at least 8 smoking scenes including a brillant light up and some dangling while styling her hair. |
L'enfer
|
smokingsides
Beautiful dramatic close-ups of the relatively young Romy provocatively inhaling deeply and letting waterfalls of smoke float slowly out of her mouth, smiling knowingly at the camera. Some of the footage (or similar footage) is replayed backwards, so the smoke floats back inside her, in this avant-garde French film that was never finished. |
Max et les ferrailleurs
|
smokingsides
She smokes Kools in several scenes, though her inhales appear rather shallow for a woman noted for being a real-life heavy smoker. There is a long-lasting thin nasal exhale and a nice scene towards the end when she screws up her face as her last drag hits her harder than she had expected. |
Mouton enrag%, Le
|
smokingsides
Takes a single drag, but her hand conceals her mouth |
My Lover My Son
|
smokingsides
Schneider takes a drag in bed, raising her cigarette a second time as the director cuts away. Later, she is about to light her Rothman's, but her lover takes it from her, lights it, then passes it back to her for her to take three drags. There are also two holding scenes. Brake takes two unconvincing drags in a bar, partially inhaling the second. |
Otley
|
smokingsides
In an early scene she picks up a pack of Marlboro to put in her handbag. Later, she is glimpsed stubbing a cigarette out. |
Passante du Sans-Souci, La
|
smokingsides
Smokes in two short scenes. Some misc. actresses also smoke, incl. one with a holder. |
Piscine, La
|
smokingsides
Romy smokes in three scenes, while young Birkin has one. |
The Victors
|
smokingsides
0:57 - JM lights, holds nicely, takes two little drags. 1:15 - RS, 5-6 nice drag-exhales at table. 1:24 - RS places cig in mouth; later, a drag-exhale and stubout. Also in this scene, a woman in the bar, cig dangling, vainly awaits a light from George Peppard. 1:38 - MM holds in longshot. 1:40 - MM accepts light, stubout a min later. 1:43 - MM accepts light, small exhale. 1:47 - MM lights, but puts it down. 2:18 - SB declines a light with a shake of her head and lights herself; later a couple little drag-exhales and a stubout. |
Train, Le
|
smokingsides
Accepts a light for her unfiltered Gauloise and inhales. Two other brief scenes: one holding, one dragging. |
Trio infernal, Le
|
smokingsides
First seen with a holder in a car, she subsequently lights up in bed. As she counts some money, she clenches her holder between her teeth, before taking a drag. She lights up again with a drag and her customary nasal exhale. Finally, she drags through her holder in a casino, snatches the smoke down purposefully and, very unusually for Romy, exhales a thick cloud from her mouth. |
Triple Cross
|
smokingsides
The hero draws attention to the fact that she has smoked 22 cigarettes in three hours, a fact confirmed by a guard as she lights her 23rd. The camera pans to a close-up of her ashtray, full of unfiltered lipsticked butts. Four brief scenes come later - she stubs out, takes a cigarette from the hero to light her own before putting it aside to give him a massage, accepts a light for a holdered cigarette, and exhales from beneath a broad-brimmed hat - but the supposed heavy habit is not really confirmed. |
