English title: The Cigarette
A man decides to commit suicide after he deduces that his wife is cheating on him. He opts for an unconventional manner of ending his own life.
This is from a time when people thought there was such a thing as a non-poisoned cigarette. Anyway, this film is not likely to provoke many emotions in modern audiences (and I suspect it didn't even in its day). I am usually opposed to tragedies, as they feel artificial and unrealistic, but a tragic ending would at least bring some life to this dull story, in a paradoxical way.
