Beer In Ads #2295: Randolph Scott, I’ve Found Out

June 2, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Carling’s Red Cap Ale, from 1950. In this ad, part of a series featuring well-known celebrities of the day and the tagline “I’ve found out,” it features “American film actor” Randolph Scott holding a beer and giving his testimonial about why he loves Red Cap Ale. Is it me, or does that glass in his hand look really tiny, as if it was photoshopped in (or whatever they did before Photoshop)?
