When Bogart, Davis or Flynn take a drag . . .
25 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
. . . on a cigarette, they are NOT really prompting a new generation of youngsters to cut their lives short with coffin nails. Impressionable eight-year-olds do NOT spend their days watching HIGH SIERRA, NOW VOYAGER or CUBAN REBEL GIRLS. On the other hand, when they see a peer such as the title character of ALICE'S WILD WEST SHOW puffing on a cigar and blowing smoke rings eight minutes into this lamentable film, such product placement trades Big Tobacco Blood Money for future decades of suffering, death and delinquent too early-orphaned children in a blatant Attack on Society even more egregious than Twitter's. If, like me, you have a female relative cut down in mid-life, slain too soon by the greedy minions of Big Tobacco, it's impossible to view ALICE'S WILD WEST SHOW or any other product from its chain-smoking producer with any kind of benign sympathy.
