This commercial would be one of my very favorites from the 1970's. This advertisement for Milton Bradley's Game -- "Battleship" -- was aired on television in October 1978. A Brilliant 10!! The reason: the mixture of classic opera and two people playing the game in a loud manner. Well Done!!
I love the juxtaposition of high culture--the opera, probably Wagnerian--with the middle class past time of Battleship. It's a comment on what's really important in life.
Does anyone have any colored commercials for the 1970s version of the Mystery Date Game, originally introduced in 1965?
