CDP Classic Ads - Cinzano (1978 - 1983)

Now I can see why Spelling picked Joan Collins to play Alexis on Dynasty. She was already playing her in these ads. Alexis was a real sophisticate!

now watch "luck bitches",via french and sanders,goodbye chinzano,,,,now it makes soo much sense... the world is all right now..

is that frank lowe in the second video getting the cinzano in the face? amazing.

Very funny. I grew up on these ads too. Joan Colins all I can say is what a gorgeous woman! Incidentally, both the crew and Directors of these ads said that Rossiter was extremely pompous off camera, he even refered to Collins as 'the prop' whilst she was extremely down to earth and aimiable.....

Aaaaah the late great Leonard Rossiter. I used to love watching "the fall and rise of reginald perrin". Arguably his most memorable role (unless you prefer rising damp).

Deanna Troi...wow, good spot mate!!

The Japanese guy's name is "grilled chicken on a stick."

HAHAHAHHAHA!!!! This is hilaaaaarious. They need to revive these ads. Is Cinzano Bianco still available???

The airline one really deserves its reputation as one of the great comedy ads. The way Joan seems to have avoided the inevitable splash and the look one her face when Leonard puts her chair back.

Nonsense; he often played Hindu bank-managers too Lol.

Looks like Marina Sirtis (the future Counselor Deanna Troi on Star Trek: TNG) playing the "stewardess" (aka flight attendant) on the last commercial. Since she is British of Greek parentage, naturally she played an Italian.

i grew up with these adverts, always loved them. thanks for putting them on.

Timeless classic.. Rossiter was a genius!

Joanie gets splashed with Cinzano every ad but it never gets old.

Ah, these ads are absolute classics.

thankyou love joam

The first one has Nadim Sawalha (Nadia & Julia's dad) as a bar steward. He always played wealthy Arabs in series like The Professionals.
