BY DAY, A LOVELY SWANK TIE...BY NIGHT, A CALL TO LOVE IN GLOWING WORDS!
MEN...BOYS...Now amaze your friends! Surprise and thrill every girl you meet!
Like a miracle of light there comes a pulsing, glowing question - WILL YOU KISS ME IN THE DARK BABY?
There's no trick, no hidden batteries, no switches or foolish horseplay, but a thing of loveliness, as the question emerges gradually to life, touched by the wand of darkness.
A HOLLYWOOD RIOT WHEREVER YOU GO.

I think the working assumption is that "Hollywood anything" is more glamorous and exciting (and therefore BETTER) than its somewhere-else counterpart. Like how a "Hollywood Miracle Diet" is perceived to work better than a Cleveland, Ohio Miracle Diet.
already checked Grebo... no dice
40's, I think.
I believe I rented a video called The wand of Darkness when I didn't have a girlfriend at the time. Sad, sad, lonely days.
hilarious... the copywriter earned his paycheck that day! What year is this from? 40s, 50s?
Well, I did enjoy "Riot On Sunset Strip", because the Chocolate Watch Band were in it...
Is a "Hollywood Riot" anything like the L.A. riots? I'll pass.
Man, that copywriter deserves a nobel prize for that purple prose!
The scary thing is, I really, really want one of these things now.
I'm off to ebay to see what I can find.
LOL, I saw the same episode! I was shocked, shocked!, to hear Jethro say that.
The great humorist S.J. Perelman once wrote a piece (actually, a one-act musical!) based on this ad. I forget the title, but it can be found in THE MOST OF S.J. PERELMAN.
just watched an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies and Jethro mentions that he bought a tie for his graduation that glows in the dark with letters that say "Kiss me in the dark baby" !
