1950's Kodak Home Movie Camera Commercial (4th June, 1958)

A classic 1950's Commercial for a range of movie cameras sold by Kodak years ago. Adusted for inflation, the camera would have cost $US223.68 as of the date this video was posted. Nice look 1950's camera if you ask me. Unremarkably, the TV-episode this was taken from had less commercial-time than most modern US shows.

"THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE & HARRIET" was sponsored by Eastman Kodak from 1956 through 1961- and there also were extended outdoor sequences and Kodak cameras often around Ozzie's neck during the episodes; in those days, the sponsor insisted on key placements of his product throughout the program...

@fromthesidelines I think, personally, in the case of "Ozzie and Harriet", "I Married Joan", etc, the product placement was quite tasteful all things considered.

have you ever wanted to make a movie in the old style and had the perfect idea for it? i wish i had one of these to make one... ;_;

Well, when General Electric's Hotpoint division sponsored the program between 1952 and '56, 'matt', Harriet's kitchen was chock full of Hotpoint appliances (as Joan's G.E. kitchen was on "I MARRIED JOAN"), and there were an extensive number of scenes that took place in that kitchen as well.

Yes, and in some parts of the world, shows can run as little as 19 minutes without commercials (example: Australia)
