Thanks to his appearances in the amazing Spaghetti Westerns, I can forgive Lee Van Cleef a multitude of sins. Cleef is a powerful presence, but even he struggles with the ridiculous script for the Suntory Whisky commercial below.
-”Friends? I have a lot of friends.”
-OK, don’t get defensive. I just mentioned that you seem to be living alone in an otherwise deserted farm.
“Children… and grown-ups.”
-Er…, Lee, you’re about 70 years old, so you should have mostly grown-up friends by now.
-”Male… and female.”
-Glad to hear it. I was beginning to have my suspicions about you.
-”Violent and gentle.”
-Violent? OK. I’ll shut up now.

Yeah. He was also in a cool commercial for Bavarian beer.
I wonder if Clint Eastwood ever did any Japanese commercials.
I know Charles Bronson did, for a cologne called “Mandom”.
