Nice advert.

[@angelamartin5003]

How romantic a 1940s theme. I must admit I've never seen this one but a really beautiful martini ad.

[@WayneM1961]

Those old Martini adverts had a lovely romantic, atmospheric feeling about them. Pity the stupid Rossiter/Collins so called humourous commercial spoilt it

[@JAYSCLASS]

The adverts with Collins and Rossiter were for Cinzano!

[@capitolia]

The actress with the black veiled-pillbox hat looks someone known... Was she famous back then? Maybe only Europe?

[@mackenzierough]

No, they didn't use any famous actors in this campaign!

[@davidfanimation]

Exactly what I thought too!

[@vivienneandersson6019]

She looks similar to Bianca Jagger did then.

Steam trains!!!!! This was directed by Tony Scott and was shown 1979/80 and won an award. Do you know where it was filmed?

[@Luloo5]

On the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in Yorkshire

who sings this pls?

[@mackenzierough]

The music was composed by Christopher Gunning but no one can remember who the session singer was.

[@richardscott737]

Thanks for that but she does have lovely voice...

[@bobrew461]

I'm a bit late to the party but, I reckon it's Madelin Bell from Blue Mink. She did loads of ad music in the '70s and '80s; "Wonderfuel Gas" etc.
