Orson Welles Paul Masson advertisements

Common card · No. 372928

Orson Welles acted in a series of advertisements for Paul Masson's California wine from 1978 to 1981, best known for their slogan "We will sell no wine before its time," becoming a much-parodied cultural trope of the late 20th century. Years later, the commercials regained notoriety when a bootleg recording of out-takes was distributed, showing an apparently inebriated Welles on the set of one of the commercials.
