Ok, not sure how to ask.....worst woman smoking in a movie???

Ha ha ha, my 1st and only choice……Sally Field in the movie with Paul Newman called Absence of Malice. OMGAWD……..why did they want her to smoke in this movie??? Stupid movie anyway, but sheesh…..her smoking is way, way, way out of line.

but the both book & the movie "Absence of Malice" were incredibley good.

I've read the book 4-5 times & still enjoy the book.

This story is about the rights of journalists to expose crimes & wrong-doings in government & crime.

Please look beyond someone smoking, and look at the story itself.
