Glass

Harp television advertisement 'Glass' from the 'Working up a Thirst' campaign in which workers in a glass factory end their day with a Harp lager. Colour advert opens with a close-up of a man etching a glass vase. Over brief interspersed shots of the glass factory and a tankard being filled with lager, a song begins ‘You’ve been working up a thirst…’ The workers clock out at the end of the working day. Two of the workers meet at a bar in a pub. They both drink from tankards, one of them close-up, with caption ‘Harp – a pint of satisfaction’ and song concluding ‘There’s a pint of satisfaction in a Harp’. Credits: Director - Brian de Salvo, Camera - Bestick Williams. Filmed November 1976. Handwritten note: 'for country cinema'; [possibly filmed at Waterford Crystal?]
