Death in the West
Directed by Martin Smith
A documentary filmed by reporter Peter Taylor with interviews both of Phillip Morris executives and of cowboys in the American west. Taylor contrasts the executives' noncommittal answers to the question of cigarettes being harmful with the stories of men who smoked cigarettes and are now dying of lung cancer and emphysema. The film was removed from circulation after a lawsuit from Phillip Morris, but is now available to watch.
