HAMLET CIGARS: SIDECAR {INTERNATIONAL FILM AND TELEVISION FESTIVAL OF NEW YORK: TV COMMERCIAL WINNERS REEL 1983}

Summary

In this commercial for Hamlet cigars, a man is shown riding in the sidecar of a motorcycle when disaster strikes. The sidecar somehow becomes separated from the motorcycle on a tight turn and the man finds himself speeding down a country lane without any steering. Apparently there's nothing else for the poor fellow to do but sit back, hope for the best, and light up a Hamlet cigar. Slogan (supered): "Hamlet. The mild cigar."
