“Smile” (1975), directed by Michael Ritchie. 113 minutes. Rated PG. One of a series of Michael Ritchie films about America’s unbending faith in traditions and pageantry, no matter how tarnished. In this one, it’s a beauty pageant that takes it on the chin. Look for an 18-year-old Melanie Griffith as one of the contestants.
