Subject: Dinah Shore is the Greatest Jew of All Time!
Although I'm not Jewish, I might become one just because of Dinah Shore. Those who met her say she was just as nice off-screen as she was on-screen. She hosted several popular TV series including "The Dinah Shore Show" (Of which I have uploaded one episode to IA). Dinah was HOT!
Hey Rick, If you have any more commercials with Dinah Shore, Please Upload 'Em!

Subject: Bubbling Over
Dinah Shore is full of charismatic energy in this theatrical promotional for the 1953 BelAir by Chevy. She gets your interest by singing "I't A Most Unusual Day" from the MGM film "A Date With Judy," then makes a smooth transition into promoting the car. The theme song for Chevy is excellent, and the showing of beautiful places in America motivates the driver. A well crafted production.

Subject: Not a Production Chevy but a Prototype!
B"H
A wonderful film, but the car shown is a preproduction model. The production '53 model did NOT have the rear vent windows! The vent windows were deleted at the last minute before production commenced.

Subject: Jam Handy was amazing!
I'm a Union Stagehand here in Detroit, where Jam Handy was really located. (The other offices were just that, offices... the real filming happened here, or on location, but the crew came from here in Detroit.) Some of the old stagehands from Handy are still around our local, but not too many. The stories of how many of these props (like cars, fridges and the like) ended up in their garages, "rec rooms" and elsewhere in their homes are hilarious. (I know one stagehand that got a new 1957 Chevy, because GM just never came and got it after the filming... no kiddin!) Interesting too are the many, many stories I've heard about the "old days at Handy" from some of these guys at lunch or coffee. Someone should really write a book about Jam Handy, as I'm sure it would be quite an interesting read. In fact, perhaps the Handy films deserve their own place here on the archive. For those that don't realize it, Handy, at one time, used more film than Hollywood, and were located just down the street from the GM Building on Grand Boulevard in the north end of Detroit. There's a reason they were so close to GM... look at who most of their films were made for!
By the way folks, it's "Jam Handy Productions". I've seen it called other things here and there around the site, but it's Jam Handy. Trust me.
Some of these other film companies from Detroit (those that did industrials and commercials) were just the Jam Handy guys, churning them out under different company names. In a few cases, it WAS a different company, but it was the same old Handy crew doing it.
You can thank the stagehands of Detroit IATSE Local 38 for these wonderous films, and I'm glad to have some of them as friends and fellow stagehands. I've shown some of these films to them, and you should see the smiles as they say "Hey, I remember working on that one!". (grin)
