Questions:
1.  What kind of lens is used to record a "scent passing in front of the
lens"?
2.  Is this an example of smellavision?
3.  Is the effect stronger when the  car is moving past a pig sty?
4.  Are you sure this would bring people into the theater?  If that car
is moving
     past a pig sty - which is a likely place for a sow's ear - wouldn't
this tend to
     drive people  from the theater rather than bringing them in? 

Bob, would you care to elucidate further? :-))))

P.S.  Just couldn't pass this by :-))
