I worked on this PSA with Mr. Peck in 1984. I was his teleprompter operator. It was 103 degrees that day on Liberty Island. I suffered a heat stroke but somehow got through the shoot. When I was waiting for my boat to go back to NYC, Peck heard I was ill and he came to dock to check on me. I’ll never forget his kindness. A very classy guy.

They got us!!! 😮

Screwed us.

Seems like vintage cigar commercials always were the best, best looking women such as Edie Adams, most rememberable slogans "Should a gentleman offer a Tiparillo to a lady" and music.... Tijuana Smalls. This White Owl Ad was a first class production for its time period.

Where’s the beef!

Where’s the beef!

"Today, something we do will touch your life".

"Today, something we do will touch your life".

Another lying liar lying about the benefits of nafta.

This was a early fantasy that played havoc on this near-pubescent kid.

I remember another old Union Carbide ad from The Twentieth Century in which a man is wearing an insulated suit and walking. The background is black. As the camera pans out, you see he is walking on live electrical transmission lines - the type that carry about 500,000 volts and which are made of extremely tall metal lattice towers high off the ground - demonstrating how a material they created works efffectively as an electrical insulator. That ad was probably from the early 60s. It was just as effective as this ad with the chick. Even as a child, I remember The Twentieth Century was a great show, but some of these futurist Union Carbide ads made the show even more alluring.

This is amazing! Brilliant! Gorgeous! I love it!

The absolute epitome of how to be 'natural' in front of the camera. You get the feeling that James Garner isn't addressing a camera, but you personally. I believe he also put his money where his mouth was, and drove several Mazdas. RIP James.

Hey beautiful MISS white owl cigar you can say that again we puffed on white owl cigars but didn't inhale.but beautiful darling like you we'd kiss 💋 inhale beauty like you .

Air travel back then was a privilege, hence the smiley faces. Today, it's not, hence surly faces!

I watched this commercial as a kid. The one thing I've been searching and searching for is a video of a show I watched 50 years ago on Electromagnetic Propulsion where they did one speed test with a canister, then did a second speed test after placing the canister in liquid nitrogen to cool it down and the speed increased 100 times .

Your the birdie!

1:00 - Tell that one to Trump.

Union Carbide is cursed

why is he dressed as a boxing ref?

This comercial and it’s message aged very well.

I used to be a USAF C-9 pilot, and while there’s a bit of artistic license taken here, it was an extremely rewarding job to get sick and injured people to the medical care they needed. The flight nurses and med techs were first rate and did a great job under some very stressful situations. It was a pleasure serving with you all!

there is another ad too, that has a rushing past 720 seen in the hockey stick livery at the last ending moments of the musical verse.

God bless Trump

Now Trump owns the EF Hutton name so you better be scared!

This ad would play during Yankee games. Funny what select memories never leave you. Somehow, I remembered this as a guy looking for his golf ball in the woods when he comes across the White Owl. That's how I remembered the camera pan. And those cellos!

I got myself five pairs tonight...🤘🏼💯✔

Originally seen in 1967.

I was just looking at Dick Polak's photo archive and one of the photos is of John Barry's Clio award for this music. Fabulous advert. I can't get enough of watching it. It makes me want MY second summer!

As seen on "THE 21st CENTURY".

I'm sure the Statute of limitations is up by now. Be honest, how many chicks died making this ad? Was there any behind the scenes editing or did a live chick really survive being boiled for 1:18? If this was real, and I suspect that it was, what ever became of "super insulation"? I would love to have that thermos that will keep your coffee hot in the freezer.

I wonder if either Daimler or Fiat kept that billion $ building? Now most of the design work is done in Italy.

Where were these long (2 and 3 minute) Union Carbide ads shown? I can't imagine them buying that much air time. It isn't like your average viewer at home would go "I'll keep Union Carbide in mind for my next trip to the bottom of the ocean or the next time I need to submerge a baby chicken in boiling water."

Whatever bad things there where were about the phone monopoly you have to admit Western Electric knew how to make phones. I have read part of the reason At&t was allowed the monopoly was that Western Electric made parts for nuclear bombs. I don't know for sure if that was true but I bet their phones could survive an atomic blast. Sadly Western Electric didn't survive the break up. I would have loved to have seen their take on a cell phone. It probably would have been the size and weight of a brick but also would have been as durable as one.

Wow, modern day Gillette would have so much to apologize for in this ad.

I wonder if Lee would have still been so Gung Ho about NAFTA if he realized Fiat would wind up with Chrysler & Ram trucks would be built in Mexico?

Is that george castanza on the left in the beginning?

uninspired

It's my brother Dru, at @0:29 !

I'm amazed to see this PSA in such high quality! Nice upload! May I asked how you increased the quality/where you found it like this?

This is High Quality Version of this Commercial I ever see, First find this video when it only have like 3 views and now it have 675 views wow

I remember this

Amazing they got all those animals together. Today you would just do it in CGI. They actually had to get real animals, put them in a felid and keep them from eating each other. Neat ad.

Luigi TV

Superb short from 1974, about aluminum, written by Richard Olmsted. The narrator is Charles Kimbrough who mainly did TV series and movies. Scored by a maestro - the late, great Elmer Bernstein who had just done a couple of John Wayne films ('Cahill, US Marshall' and 'McQ') and a short for director Robert Zemeckis. Fantastic to see footage of an early Seaspeed Hovercraft. This is 'The Princess Anne' and was the 4th SRN-4 built in 1969. It wasn't taken out-of-service until 2000 and is currently undergoing restoration at The Hovercraft Museum in Lee-On-Solent. Here it is seen at either Calais or Boulogne.

Plenty of gloss and colour here! Presumably another of the 'Second Summer' commercials. Music by Brazilian bossa nova singer Astrud Gilberto who, a year previous, had achieved success (and a Grammy) with her version of 'The Girl From Ipanema'. Ads like this would have looked great in the cinema. Splendid stuff. I can only glimpse him briefly but that looks like Woody Strode at 0:09 - but, of course, it could have been any actor.

This is a great commercial Neil and the jingle is fantastic. My research tells me that the music was composed by Sid Ramin who had, two years earlier (1967), composed the great 'Music To Watch Girls By' for the Pepsi-Cola 'Girl Watchers' campaign. It appears that their 'Smiling Faces, Going Places' campaign, which launched in April 1969, was not well-received. Hard to believe with a superb ad like this! It might have been more down to the literature that accompanied the campaign. Thanks for uploading this.

Who is that Blaine ?
