Yes. They are among the best. He died on November 19, 2007. Sources say "natural causes."

Oh, yes, I remember those ads. If I remember right, they created that effect by putting harnesses on the two actors, then pulling them out of their seats and into the air. The film was then reversed to make it appear that they were flying into the cars. The car and people were superimposed on a moving background to make it seem as if the car is driving.

The Hertz spot production was recreated in the movie "Good Neighbor Sam," which starred Jack Lemmon and Dorothy Provine.

Thanks, Hallway! I had three years of high school and college French, so the language wasn't a problem. That was a lot of fun to watch. ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png)

You can actually see the harnesses. ;D If you mean the scene I posted, then, yes you are suppose to. It is a comedy gag in a movie.

I used to like that Charlie commercial from the 1970's with Bobby Short at the piano and Shelly Hack playing the Charlie girl.
There's a fragrance that's here to stay And they call it CHARLIE! A different fragrance that thinks your way And they call it CHARLIE! Kind of young, kind of now CHARLIE! Kind of free, kind of WOW, CHARLIE!
Too bad the fragrance wasn't as good as the commercial.

I couldn't tell because the resolution didn't seem very well when I watched the video, but was that Cybill Shepherd in the Charlie commercial? :unsure: ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

That was a neat Chevrolet ad, Circled! :thumbsup: Simple and to the point, without a lot of dealer mumbo-jumbo, loud head-banging music, 80-mph curves, fast-talking legal disclaimers, etc! ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png)
