★★★★★ · Excellent sales film! · Tehmeh64 · 2022-01-14
Terrific music and saucy comedy in this in-house sales campaign film. Ann Fraser, the blonde in most scenes, later co-starred on the daytime talk show "People Are Talking" in San Francisco (KPIX Channel 5) from around 1978-1991.

Who'd a thought an acting job with AC Delco would lead to an acting job for Mel Brooks.

I love trade ads like this. I do have a hard time believing AC was the number one plug and filter brand in 73. The only people I knew who bought AC parts where hyper GM loyalist. Most everyone else went with Champion plugs and Fram filters (back before they became the orange can of death). I only know one guy who drove a non GM product who bought AC parts. It was Ford and his wife preferred Chevrolet. Anytime he did maintenance he used AC Delco parts and tolds his wife she should like the car more since it had GM parts now.

Just an ok company announcement film about it's new advertising campaign. I just found it to be a little forced, and not that entertaining. Maybe ribald for the times.. though I doubt it.
