Review
I was about to go to bed, but when I saw the thumbnails of this short, I knew I had to see it. The film tells of how Lucky Strike chooses their tobacco.. but WAIT A MINUTE! Before we talk about that ladies and gentlemen, out comes the Lucky Strike Orchestra and Frank Sinatra! Wooo! He sings Stardust! Great song! Oh, um, ok back to the documentary. Lucky Strike means Fine Tobacco. Yes, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. (they say this line 12 times in the short). Interesting footage of how the tobacco is sold in auction, and we talk to a seller, who's great because of the way he says 'Tobacky'. Great production line footage is shown, (which actually, I saw the same footage in 'New Horizons' just yesterday) and well, let go back to the music again! The orchestra and some singers play and sing "Mama, he's making eyes at me". And it ends my friends by reminding us Lucky Strike means Fine Tobacco. Yes, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. A HOOT! This is a MUST SEE on this site!
