if you could clip -n-save 10,000 coupons from the packs you could send in for a nicely appointed coffin. lol

Philip Morris sponsored "I LOVE LUCY" from 1951 through '55, 'Landon'. After their sponsorship ended, Desilu was able to produce commercials for other cigarette manufacturers- like Brown & Williamson's "Raleigh" [through their ad agency Keyes, Madden & Jones]. That's Marvin Miller announcing these 1958 spots; at the time, he was also appearing as "Michael Anthony" on Colgate-Palmolive's "THE MILLIONAIRE".

@fromthesidelines To this day I'm still waiting for him to give me my million-dollar check.

OMG~ I love watching these old cigarette commercials BUT~ the sales pitches the tobacco companies used to get you to smoke are seriously tragic.....

[LandondeeL]

@teceyS3 Indeed. But now that we all know better, we can all enjoy the naivetity and quaintness of these commercials. My own personal favorites are the Viceroys (qv).
