Australian 1959 Nestle's Chocolate 30 sec TV Commercial. Produced by Avondale Studios (PN 60) for Hansen Rubensohn advertising (N1488). I wonder if families really dressed like this at home in the late 1950s? And of course Dad is the only one to know how to pick the best chocolate!
There is apparently a moderate amount of confusion over the pronunciation. In the US it has always been NESS-LEE, while in the UK (and I assume, Australia) NESS-UL was common. It is a Swiss company, and since the Swiss (depending on the region) use two (at least) forms of German, along with French, perhaps that's the reason for some oddities. However, I have to go with that accent mark on the final "E," -- which makes me think that NESS-LEE is what the company wants....
