Streisand in full effect. (‘A Star Is Born,’ 1976)
“Sometimes, everything isn’t enough.”
This spot for the film, A Star Is Born runs one minute long. I could swear it takes at least twice that time. It’s not exactly action-packed. The promo aired in late December of 1976.

I like the fellow in this spot for Sony’s Betamax recorder. He’s got quality comedic body language going. The commercial aired in December of 1976. Press play and enjoy.

Dandruff alert! Time for Head & Shoulders.
Here’s a spot for the medicated shampoo mentioned above that aired in December of 1976. It stars…that…guy. (Like me, you’ll probably recognize him, but not know his name.)
