HAMLET CIGARS: PHOTO BOOTH {1987 INTERNATIONAL
SHOWCASE REEL}

Summary

In this commercial for Hamlet Cigars, a man with a large bald spot is shown having his picture taken in a photo booth. Unfortunately, no matter how carefully he combs his hair, he can't cover the bald spot. After taking several unflattering shots with long strands of hair dangling in front of his face, he gives up and lights a Hamlet Cigar to raise his spirits. Slogan: "Hamlet, the mild cigar."
