For those feeling wistful about Kodak's bankruptcy, here's a few vintage commercials from the company.
So Eastman Kodak has declared bankruptcy. Right now, Twitter is like a wake
for this most beloved of American companies. I refuse to speak of Kodak
in the past tense, though: bankruptcy protection is not a death
sentence, and when it says, as it does in its press release, that it
intends to ”emerge a lean, world-class, digital imaging and materials
science company,” I’m rooting for it to do exactly that.
But like everyone else who grew up shooting Kodak film -- often in a
Kodak camera -- I’m feeling wistful about the brand and what it’s meant
to me and the world. How about watching a few vintage commercials,
including two versions of the once-famous tear-jerker “Turn Around” and
ones starring the Nelsons, the cast ofBewitched, Michael Landon, and Bill Cosby?
