Chanel - Share the Fantasy (1982) commercial

[howden123456]

the coolest ad of all time!

[morongobill]

This has to be my favorite commercial of all time. I remember telling friends just how beautiful the lady was in this commercial and that it was probably lost forever, wow!

Does anyone know who played Catherine in this commercial? She looks familiar but I can't place a name with the face.

Great find!

[thefabulousmark]

I actually get chills every time I see this commercial!Fabulous!

[MelanieLouM]

I remember this commercial! ^_^

[coolperson154]

great commercial

[fredy413]

There's so many dicks in this commercial, its crazy...

The water, the tower. The plane who looks like a tongue.

Damn

[cwcowles]

One of my all-time favorite commercials.

[gandy74]

The entrance of "Catherine" against the dappled, bronzy background always reminds me of the introduction of "Rachael" in "Blade Runner".

[WizardsMachine]

This was made when our pop culture still had room for VIBE and SUBTLETY. Before 'XTREME' and "OUTTA CONTROL" took over.

[cochranexyz]

@WizardsMachine  Nice. Very true.

[aramanth]

@WizardsMachine I agree!  Today's commercials are in your face but there was a time when it was classy to be subtle and mysterious.

[blambabalamba]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this posting! This was my favorite commercial as a kid. The cinematography - visually stunning. The music. The subtlety - less is definitely more.  I haven't watched TV for about 5 years and this commercial's why. Current television, both programming and commercials, is insipid and inane! I'll take a Chanel commercial and School House Rock over American [Idiot] Idol ay day!

[xanthiie]

WOW!.....OUTSTANDING!

Like others have said, this tv commercial is engraved in my memory like very few others!

This ad is STILL too cool for skool.

[wen76nyc]

this commercial is the ULTIMATE in CHIC back then and still today....LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Why can't advertising be this beautiful nowadays?

[davidh0187dc]

i wish that they would reprise these commercials

[stillwaterguy04]

Everyone who likes this commercial needs to watch the Chanel Eden Roc commercial. I'm still looking for the 1990's perfume commercial where a woman falls in love with a Greek statue of a male. We don't get commercials like these any more.

[Castielj]

This is probably my favorite TV commercial of all time. Have not seen it in more than 25 years until now on YouTube. I first saw it during my favorite time of life as a youth and seeing it again has brought back those very great memories.

Many thanks to louisadeck for posting this -- it really made my day seeing it again

after all these years.

[diggiemac]

totally agree with everything you said. This apparently was a ridley scott commercial too.

[millionvalve]

I have waited over 25 years to see this video, so thanks much. My fuzzy recollection deleted the goofy "names" dialog, but the rest of it is proof positive that it stuck in my mind this long for good reason--it's still the most evocative commercial I've ever seen.

[wolfencrow]

I LOVED this commercial when I was a kid, and still do. Still visually stunning.

[simking407]

ok?

[thomas6900]

Merci !

Remember we played it over & over as well.

Great memories.

[rocky362]

the ad was fine but i thin chanel 5 stinks

[randytate]

"I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" - the 1941 version by The Ink Spots.

I recall this commercial and the tune with fond recollection.

[tomterahedrob]

Ever notice you remember where you were and what you were doing 1st time you saw this? because thats greatness!

[Questbx1]

i remmeber this commrecial enjoyed the song have not seen thi since 1982 83 thanx

[tomterahedrob]

It was 1982when we were recording this movie on tv and then we saw this!my dad and i replayed it over and over! boy thats a great commercial! hed say.i dont remember the name of the network tv movie.thank you!!

[stillwaterguy04]

I just found the Chanel commercial I inquired about before; it's CHANEL - EDEN ROC If you like this commercial, you should check it out as it's quite similar but stunning in its own way.

[stillwaterguy04]

Isn't there a Chanel no. 5 commercial from the 1990's that is to the tune of COME WITH ME, TO THE SEA? It was so provocative and sleek, and I think the "female" star of the commercial was the transexual (born male, but made a stunning woman) who was in the James Bond movie.

[stillwaterguy04]

The airplane silhoette on the skyscraper is quite creepy in light of 9/11. It wasn't intended to be macabre at the time, though

[Zeab70]

Leave it to Chanel no. 5. Commercials were always ahead fof thier time and this would stand even today.

[heclam]

so... who sings this cover?

[ajhow]

the best ever.

[kingbuxton]

Iris Williams?

[SimSutcliff]

C'est l'une des pubs qui m'a le plus marqué. Quel bonheur de la retrouver tant d'années plus tard! Vive la technologie!

[VoteLiberty]

This was fantastic! What a shocking flashback to a memory that had caved in my neurons! I LOVE fully "recoloring" my memories like this. We truly live in a modern age when we're able to recall our past with this technology. I LOVE it!

[erik3579]

I totally agree! I find, though, that sometimes things aren't exactly like you remember them...perhaps I viewed this commercial only a few times, then somehow reconstructed how it looked in my head over time trying to remember it...but seeing it again brings back so much!

[diggiemac]

I recall the ad as being longer. Isn't there a scene in which someone in sunglasses is driving a Deux Cheveau on a beach....

[MrGeneKim]

I'm sure there's a 60-second version ... hopefully, someone has it.

[heine71]

Charles...Catherine...

[GasPipeJimmy]

I just downloaded the Inkspots version too and this isn't it.

This version sounds like a woman singing.

[GasPipeJimmy]

That's NOT the Inkspots version of "I Don't Want To Set The World on Fire".

Does anyone have a guess who it might be?

[teouolo]

yes it is, i downloaded it

[louisadeck]

We know it's not the Ink Spots. We said it is a cover of the Ink Spots.

[teouolo]

sorry :(

[DouglasUrantia]

It sounds like the late Bobby Short to me. What do you say??

[DouglasUrantia]

Bobby Short's bio mentions that he did perfume commericals.

[DouglasUrantia]

@louisadeck .....it's Bobby Short. He is also playing the piano.

[elpercho]

louisadeck, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Ive been waiting to be taken back with this commercial. The most beautiful commercial ever made...
