This is the commercial that got me interested in Chanel. I had never heard of it until I saw this commercial in 1990. It left such an impression on me, that years later, I started using Chanel products. Thank you, Jojo2407, for this trip down Memory Lane.
"From a standpoint of shear beauty, one of the lovliest people to ever play a Bond lead, the fact that she went on to become the face of Chanel should prove that." Jerry Jerome from Inside For Your Eyes Only. Touche Jerry, Touche!
Used to air during special-"Crisis in the Gulf" w/ Bernie Shaw on CNN from 9-10pm EST B4 1st Gulf War. Remember seing it in late Sept 90.Ironic to show such a illuminating ad w/ great locales/cinemotgrphy and carefree, young, rich, and beautiful people enjoying life as compared to during show on CNN which was about ongoing dire stressful situation of Saddam and world crisis!
Yann, I checked several cover versions of this song and yes, you are correct this is Marty Wilde singing this song. Yea for you..! You have a good ear.
I loved this commercial so much, I got myself a similar black hat and black swimsuit to wear with black heels and pearl earrings. Going to try it with red nails.
the only thing i know about the woman in this ad is she was james bonds girlfriend in "for your eyes only". I had no idea she did anything before she did that movie.
I think you'd be happy to know that I uploaded the behind the scene documentary you're referring to. The quality is not great but it's a pretty rare video. Enjoy ! Cheers
