7917 Great surreal commercial, I have no idea how it was done of a billboard with a model on the beach coming to life. The layering makes it look they shot this on a beach, maybe added a fake wall, or something! Great color too, which, for a cigarette commercial is pretty rare. A MUST SEE on this site!

The colors of this print are superb, the catchy jingle will have you whistling, and the mpeg2 sharpness make this one a collector's MUST HAVE. If you think you've seen the guy who gets on the bus, you have. That's none other than George Costanza's boss on "Seinfeld", Mr. Wilhelm...character actor Richard Herd. Lively Newport Cigarette spot!

We know the man on the bus, but do we know the phantom cigarette singer and her beach bumpkin boyfriend?

Entertaining 3 ERD 2006-03-09 07:14:26 2006-03-09 07:14:26 I have to correct a previous reviewer: At the time, the dangers of smoking had been known for at least a few years, and had been considered highly possible for some time (A lyric from a #1 smash hit from 1947 said "Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death/Tell St. Peter at the Pearly Gate/That you hate to make him wait/But you just gotta have another cigarette"). That said, this is a good commercial, and I'd like to see the concept come back, BUT for a completely different product (maybe Pepsi or M&Ms?). Decent commercial Seto-Kaiba_Is_Stupid 2009-08-24 03:54:16 2009-08-24 03:54:16 4 No date on this video, but it is identical to the one at 08.40 in this collection… http://archive.org/details/tobacco_kzr91e00 … which is dated 1958.
