Flintstones Winston Cigarette Commercials

Here are three commercials from the 50's featuring the Flintstones:

Sight - Although these three Winston cigarette commercials are fairly short, there is a lot to see in each of them. There are various wide shots of Fred driving home from work doing the usual errands. There is always a close-up of the Winston box every time it is on-screen. There is even an establishing extreme wide shot of Bedrock with a flashing Winston "billboard" in the forefront.

Sound - Throughout the three commercials the 50's style Flinstones tune is played in the background. You can also here Fred and Barney discussing "living the life" while their wives do all the yard work. What could be better than doing nothing and smoking a cigarette? Especially one that "tastes good, like a cigarette should." Ah yes, nothing like the good taste of cancer.

Motion - Fred is returning from work and doing errands on the way home in the first commercial. What better way to end your day after work than to sit down with the television and a box of cigarettes? The second commercial shows Barney and Fred chilling in the shade while their wives do yardwork. What's better than enjoying a pack of cigs with your buddy while the ol' ball and chain slaves in the yard?
