Morley (cigarette)

Morley is a fictional brand of cigarette that has appeared in various television shows, films, and video games that otherwise have no connection to each other. The iconic, fictional brand packaging resembles the original packaging of the Marlboro cigarette brand. The name "Morley" is a play on "Marleys", a nickname for Marlboro cigarettes.[1] Morleys appear at least as far back as 1960, in Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho. There is also a Morley Lights version, in a gold and white package (similar to Marlboro Lights), marked "Lights."[2]

Appearances

Morleys have appeared primarily in TV shows, and at times in movies, music videos, and other media, as both a prop and a plot element.[3]
