...been more than a year since the suntanned Marlboro heman, the Silva Thins cad, the perky Virginia Slims Ms., the romping Salem couple and all the rest of the cigarette-selling gang have appeared on U.S. television. Yet the hopes of health authorities that a tar-free screen might help cut down on cigarette consumption have gone up in, well, a puff of smoke. Per capita use of cigarettes in 1971, at 132.4 packs, stayed just about on a par with that of other recent years, and total cigarette sales increased by a solid...
...Ms. Rigg's side of the affair is even more unexplained. Is Scott the first man who's resisted her advances for more than ten minutes? (She's certainly very enticing-and after the first five minutes it would be hard to misunderstand her intentions.)

She dances wonderfully; she sings the light pseudo-twenties songs with just the right lilting soprano, but her acting puts her back in the assistant stage manager position where she started. Ms. Jackson, who appears for a few short minutes as the show's erstwhile star, does not shine here as an actress either. The film belongs entirely to director Ken Russell, who has her appear leg first--sporting an enormous white cast with two red-painted toenails peeping forth...
Such barriers may fall, but the marquee of a Manhattan pornography house last week offered a sublime example of the chauvinist pig's gift for accommodating himself to the changing times. The current attraction is Ms. Erotica U.S.A...
