Desoto Commercial
Master 3 - Tape 1 B/W commercial, 1953 or 1954. Tracking shot of Groucho Marx driving his white DeSoto down the street, on vacation from You Bet Your Life. Groucho, sitting like the host on his TV show, says, "It's a great car, now I'd like to show you some movies they made at my house...) Groucho showing how the power steering works by pushing the steering wheel around; "See, just one finger," and he points it in the air. He then demonstrates the power brakes, pushing his wing-tip shoes softly on the pedal. CU on automatic transmission symbols, as the gear shift is put from Neutral into Drive. At the end he says: "Tell them Groucho sent you." The Plymouth DeSoto logo then appears, with a new voice over. Groucho then opens up the middle of a DeSoto symbol and speaks through it like a porthole. Map of U.S. at end, with logo over it saying "The best of Groucho..."
