That's very cool! It's interesting that it's a 60 second commercial, but the story could have easily been told in 30 seconds. Today there are very few 60's anymore, it seems we are getting used to faster edits and can handle more information in less amount of time.

And, of course, today that commercial would be highly illegal. Even for booze.

Tikifish seems to be in advertising like me. And I wondered about her statment. So I gave it a try to trim down that old commercial to 30 sec. version like we would find it today. And to no surprise it was quite easy. Check it out at http://www.armchair-travelling.com/newport30.mpg
