Cinema Adverts of the 1960's Part 1 of 2

Grateful thanks are due to David Rayner for this lovely selection of 35mm adverts spanning 1959-1969. David has kindly provided a nice telecine transfer of a reel that was originally shown at the Plaza Cinema, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent. Well done for saving them David - very many thanks for sharing them! Part 2 coming soon!

do you get the feeling they are trying to sell some ice cream, i'm not to sure :s

@fatdan8 I know what you mean - lol! In reality, of course, no more than two or three would have been screened in a public show.

Voice-overs on these adverts include Terry Scott as the cartoon little boy on the two Suncrush adverts from 1963; Patrick Wymark on the Cornish Ice Cream Like a Dream advert from 1968; Charles Gray on the Catch Them If You Can advert from 1969 and Tony Blackburn on the Orbit advert from 1969. David Rayner.

Thanks David. I'd never have guessed that it was Tony Blackburn in the Orbit ad. (5:20 part 2). Artists often adapted their normal speaking voice for these (eg. Terry Scott - Suncrush). Perhaps it's just me but I keep thinking I can hear Jimmy Young (affected American accent) in Zoom - Fireball XL5 (4:48 and repeated start or part 2).

the 60's were a fucking fruity decade lol

[DEEninetysix]

[MsBkirk]

That's definitely Terry Scott on the Kia-Ora and Suncrush ad.

[Lebensgefuehl1]

oh brings back memories in the years of BAOR - time that I shared as a "Kraut",

teenie-aged, visiting the British-Forces-Cinemas later in the 70ties, beeing very nosy about all the kinds of Ice-Cream, that was on sale in the "Globes" in Rheindahlen, Brügge, later in Hemer.......

Thanks so much for posting.

Every Saturday I went to the Odeon as a kid. Every Saturday I had a chronic asthma attack at the Odeon and had to leave before the end of the film. Only 20yrs later did they realize that tartrazine creates a massive immune inflammation response. Thanks Kia-Ora!!!

I remember that Suncrush. It was filthy muck.
