I'm unsure if this film was produced by MPO Television studios or by Whitman toy division of the Whitman Publishing Company. Commercial was produced in concert with the famous Leo Burnett advertising company. This very campy 1969 film covers the making of a "Whitman Game Testing" commercial starring Jacques Aubuchon.
While the film had no intro/outro title, "How to Make a Commercial" was labelled on the film can.
The main short was printed on Kodachrome II printing stock, hence the gorgeous color and image. Made minor corrections.
The commercial was on the typical red-magenta faded eastmancolor, extensively corrected it to bring color back.
