Commercial was made in 1964. James Mason was desperate for the $10,000 from the commercial to pay for his divorce from his incredibly annoying wife. I’ve seen her on the tube. She was enough to make you drink...but not Thunderbird.
Interesting.
I recently watched “Lolita” which was released in ‘62 and was amazed that James Mason played the part of Humbert Humbert.
Was also flummoxed by the fact that Peter Sellers had and still has little to no mention for his portrayal of Clare Quilty, even though his character was a major part of the storyline and gav Sellers a chance to showcase his ability to play many different personalities
Its as if the Dos Equis guy was pimping King Cobra.
I don’t often Drink King cobra but when I do, I wake up next to Helen Thomas.
LOL! I’d say that explains it pretty well.
