Major plot hole?

There's no scene in the movie where Carol goes out to buy cigarettes at night.

If you're referring to the scene in Carol's house where Therese offers to go get cigarettes for her: Carol tells Therese she doesn't need to run out "in the middle of nowhere" to do that. Neither one left in search of cigs.

Besides, how much do you personally know about what you could or could not do in 1952? Particularly in the tri-state area.

You're so hungry for attention you're now inventing sh*t about the movie.

You're assuming she was actually completely out of cigarettes. She had another case in the piano room, and she likely had stashes elsewhere. My parents were smokers when I was growing up in the sixties; they never run out.

I just perceived Carol's comment as sarcasm, and the exchange as an indicator that Therese hung on her every word. Made the rebuke that much more painful.

Okay, just for the record, I do not think cigarettes have much to do with the plot. I meant for this to be a humorous thread, which is why I stuck my tongue out in the OP. But I did notice that Carol ran out of cigarettes and then smoked one, so I mentioned it.
