This 1960s color film is a promotion for Renfield Importers, Ltd. and by association, BOAC. The plane is “taking” passengers to the European countries that Renfield imports wines and liquors from as its Blue Chip Holiday Line. It was produced by Screenscope, Inc. Close-up views of the bottles are shown throughout the film. Also shown throughout are many fashions of the 1960s. The film opens with a BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) 747 jumbo jet taking off (:07-1:08). The Eiffel Tower is shown in France, as well as the Arc de Triomphe. People sit in outdoor cafes drinking Remy Martin VSOP Cognac and Cointreau liquor (1:45-3:35). At the Palace of Versailles, Piper champagne is served (3:36-4:35). Rome provides shots of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Forum of Caesar, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain (4:36-5:35). Shown are bottles of Melini Lacrima D’Arno and Chianti Riserva; Martini and Rossi Asti Spumante and Reserva Montelara; and Lamberti (5:36-6:08). At the Piazza Navona Square, outdoor diners enjoy Martini & Rossi vermouth. A bottle of Distilled London Dry Gin also sits on a table (6:09-7:48). Sheep cross a street in front of an three-wheeled AC Invacar in Edinburgh, Scotland (7:49-8:09). The Edinburgh Castle is shown, as are ads for Haig Scotch Whiskey on a bar sign and the side of a bus (8:25-8:43). A couple ride in a Daimler Majestic Major. Arriving home, they each enjoy a glass of Haig Scotch Whiskey and Haig Pinch Scotch Whisky (8:44-10:06). A bottle of King William IV blended Scotch Whiskey is shown on the pavement of a parade as a bagpipe band of men wearing kilts march past, followed by boys and girls wearing sailor outfits (10:07-11:15). In London, watch for multiple view of hot pants, which the cameraman focused on. Scenes of London show ads for Gordon’s gin at Goswell Road, Big Ben, Downing Street, a military marching band, and Carnaby Street (11:16-14:00). A park with a pond and birds shows a relaxed scene for drinking Gordon’s vodka (14:01-14:42). The film closes with scenes already shown in the film.

Were not shy about showcasing the ladies of London, Paris or Rome. I love that I have been to these cities and some scenes look very similar today but I would love such lesser traffic of that bygone era.

The narrator sounds like the narrator for "The New Detectives".

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

What an awesome trip to the past. They do not make them like this anymore. Lol!

[@archenema6792]

I'd like to order one of those Romanian noblemen that Mr. Renfield was famous for importing.
The only importer that offers a lifeforce multiplier guarantee.
