FilmThreads Anyone hacked off by the Ubiquitous Zippo? When people smoke in films which they do a lot, still. As it's atmospheric & denotes stress relief or post coital-ness or whatever. It's almost always lit by a Zippo. Regardless of time period, socio-economic status or geography. In film & TV land Zippos are the only cigarette lighters to have ever existed. You know why? Cos Zippo bought everyone else out & supply them for free to most any reasonable budget production that wants them. 🔥🔥
