In the early 1970's Bronson made several commercials for a Japanese toiletry/aftershave product called Mandom. There are 8 of them on You Tube and for Bronson fans they're hilarious. The best (and longest) is commercial #6, with Charlie bathing in the stuff as the background music plays "All the World Loves a Lover". Then Bronson says, "Mmm, Mandom." In some of the other macho shots he chops wood, runs around Monument Valley in cowboy duds, and catches fish bare-handed. Go to You Tube and type in "Charles Bronson Mandom" in the search function and all the ads will come up.

Yes, very funny stuff ! The "All the world loves a lover" one, is especially hilarious, because it tries to give Bronson a sophisticated Cary Grant image. The other ones are more adequate : he chops wood like O'Reilly in " THE MAGNIFICENT 7", plays the harmonica like... Harmonica, etc.  "Hmmmm... Mandom !" |

Most of these commercials seem to be gone from Youtube at the moment, unfortunately. Should have saved them when I still had the chance. Man, I really love the song in the commercial by Jerry Wallace! Really catchy stuff  |
