Cigarettes played a very important part in this movie.


Saw it for the first and only time just now.

The people were running around, they would stop, light a cigarette and then keep on running. I have never seen anything like it.

If this was not paid for by RJ Reynolds then nothing was.

I think the idea was that if you smoked you could run for hours.



Kay: Senators and presidents don't have men killed.
Michael: Oh, who's being naive, Kay?

When people comment about people smoking in 50s movies, it's as if they were surprised that people in period movies travel in horse drawn carriages rather than cars.
