Wasn't there a Marilyn Monroe version as well with the famous "Seven Year Itch" vent scene overlayed with Sir Elton's "Candle in the Wind"?

Best Macas ad ever made.. Its still cool now almost 20 years on !

[mantletiger]

the fact that we still make commercials about a guy who was only in 3 movies just shows you how HUGE james dean must have been

[mrsrichardsharpe]

Love this ad. My family and I were talking the other day about it. As Rock On was on the radio. This ad was our introduction to the song Rock On. Why are there no good ads like this today?

[Davez621]

Is that actually real footage of James Dean from the 50s or is this a recreation?

[Youcanonacanon]

I never saw it in 1997.

[yeahsure2004]

It was mentioned today on Sydney radio that the Estate of James Dean took legal action to have this ad suppressed.
