I've seen a simlar "making of" video for the Snickers Brady Bunch commercial, which I prefer. I don't like Marilyn Monroe, I don't like the scene, and I don't like the dress.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to figure out what International Pleating had to do with this. It's referred to at approximately 1:50.
The famous scene with Marilyn's dress blowing up is made texturally interesting because of the pleats. Yes, the commercial is a spoof. If you were wondering what International Pleating had to do with this commercial (whether you are a Monroe fan or not), they are a very well respected pleating company, located in NYC's Garment District.
