Lee Marvin - Pall Mall commercial

[lionsgate12345]

Life is short. Lee was cool.

[HimJimRimDim]

The proper way to say it is "Pell Mell" not "Paul Maul". When you hear people call them "Paul Maul" they are mispronouncing.

[florentdelgrange]

i like it

[CigCityReviews]

Smoke these and Lee will shake your hand.

[ebf1957]

Smoke Pall Mall or Lee will kill you.

Back in the 50's, tough guys could smoke all the Pall Malls they wanted because they knew they could prevent lung cancer by drinking a lot of booze.

[inkey2]

I remember seeing this commercial when it was new....as a 5 year old it really made me want to smoke. I would roll up paper and and make fake cigarettes....even a fake cigarette pack.

[stanmaxkolbe]

@inkey2 Really not me I didn't until I was fourteen so I could look cool; what a dumb ass I was; I stopped smoking over twenty years ago.

[marcd30319]

MTough guys like Lee Marvin by beating the crap out of punching bags and smoking milliions of cigarrettes.

[TheCatgirl6]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the King of Cinema Cool. (Yeah, I know--it's supposed to be McQueen. But Lee got there first.)

[Quaaludedude714]

I like Lee Marvin , Had He Done The Camel Ad , I might have liked this more :) QC

[halinburt]

He's still A#1, check out Emperor of the North with Borgnine, great film.

[ELIAXTRO]

I say "Paul Mal" .. because of the "Ball & Mallet" .. and to get on peoples nerves.

[thedougshowchannel]

Just out of curiosity I looked Lee up on Wikipedia. He died of a heart attack. That tells me all I need to know.

[inkey2]

@thedougshowchannel yeah, thats right...to much cholesterol

[hadge1]

Its not killed Dale robertson he is still alive. He was 89 in july.

Them were the days wells fargo - jim hardy with the left handed gun.

[1967mustanggta]

If its good enough for Liberty Valance then its good enough for any dude.

Smoke - now.

[Vengeance31]

That's right folks after a hard workout at the gym, there's nothing faster to undermine that effort than with a fine Pall Mall cigarettte. 

[thinkpad411]

@Vengeance31 I smoke unfiltered Lucky Strikes after working out. :) Doesn't harm me one bit.

[deiiii]

Another Famous Person that cigarettes Have Killed!

[fromthesidelines]

"M SQUAD", starring Lee Marvin, was primarily sponsored by Pall Mall {American Tobacco} during its original 1957-'60 NBC run. And, as was the custom, Marvin "shilled" for his sponsor's product at the end of the episode, and appeared in other Pall Mall commercials outside his series (Dale Robertson did the same on Pall Mall's "TALES OF WELLS FARGO" at the time). This is a 1958 ad; Ernest Chappell, "the voice of Pall Mall" in their commercials, is the announcer.

[tomservo56954]

@fromthesidelines If cigarette ads were still on the air in the 1980's, you think Leslie Nielsen would have touted them? M SQUAD is considered the direct inspiration for the beloved cult series POLICE SQUAD!, which became the NAKED GUN film trilogy.

[SpudMills]

It looks and sounds like it's spelled "Pail Mail". Maybe it's just the crappy resolution of the video that makes it look like the 1st L of each word doesn't have the big serif. But that doesn't explain the weird pronunciation. I've always known it to be more like "paul moll".

[mrdantefontana666]

@SpudMills The correct pronunciation is the one sounding here in this commercial. However those who haven't heard the right one (like in a commercial) often prefer to go the paul moll way.

[inkey2]

@SpudMills what I have read is that pall mall is a famous area in london (or some where in England)....pronounced pell mell over there. Thats where the name came from

[collegeman1988]

@SpudMills When I rode the school bus when I was five years old, our bus driver used to stop at the gas station and ask for "A Pail of Mail".

[festdave]

@SpudMills, mrdantefontana66 is right. It really is properly pronounced "pell mell," although it isn't spelled that way. It's a British name--there's a road in London by the same name.

[acfinney1]

@SpudMills It is pail mail.
