Author Topic: Old advertisments. Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-03-2010 06:24 PM                     I was watching some old 'banned' cartoons on Youtube; that led me to old cigarette adverts, including this one: web page Quite interesting to see today, but to people here the second advert in the clip may be more interesting.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 04-05-2010 12:18 PM                     All the cigarette brands promoted the health benefits of smoking, until the government cracked down in the late 1960's. As too the Remco Movieland Drive-in Theatre toy, I still have mine. The commercial is misleading, it did not project actual moving images, only custom film strip slides of the various titles.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 04-05-2010 01:30 PM                     I still have a few of these (16mm) ciggie spots rotting away in a pile of old commercials somewhere in my basement.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-05-2010 02:35 PM                        It never says it projects moving images, in fact the narration mentions "still" images.  |  IP: Logged
