Casque d'or

Simone, as an 1890s gangster's moll, smokes in just one brief scene, in an outdoor dance hall early in the film. One drag/exhale.

What I found interesting about the name of this actress is that her last name 'Signoret' sounds a little like 'cigarette'! She plays the part of a diabolical mistress who smokes often throughout the movie. Lots of dangling and several good drags, but the camera cuts away before the exhale on most of them. There are a few good exhales, including a thick nostril near the beginning of the film. Overall, the smoking is pretty good and the plot of the movie is excellent.

Games

0:34 - One exhale while reading book. 0:37 - Holds briefly. 1:00 - Brief dangle, 1 exhale. 1:02 - Lengthy scene (some close shots) where she lights up and dangles a Marlboro Red as she gives a Tarot reading, one nose-exhale.

chain smokes her way through [the movie]. This woman could really smoke - just beautiful technique.

Ship of Fools

Ashley smokes in two scenes - nice exhales. Signoret smokes in three scenes, but is not a raving beauty. Leigh smokes in four or five scenes - does it elegantly - sometimes with holder - but doesn't seem to inhale consistently

Term of Trial

Signoret dangles an unlit cigarette as she talks, then lights up with an immediate drag and inhale. She drags again, with her cigarette between finger and thumb, exhaling through her nostrils. In a second scene, she lights up in bed with a double puff, then takes two subsequent drags, the second with a nasal exhale. Miles, in her screen debut, takes a puff off her boyfriend's cigarette.
