The Great American Soup!
1970 commercial for The Great American Soup featuring Ann Miller. Reminiscent of 1930s musical production numbers by Busby Berkeley. Conceived and directed by Stan Freberg, music by The Billy May Orchestra, featuring Dave Willock as the husband. Budgeted at $154K, the commercial took over four weeks to produce. It was the most expensive TV advertisement ever produced up to that point. While fondly remembered it didn't help sell much soup.
Thanks to Jesse Archer for the inspiration
