A Midnight WeddingSummary
A commercial promoting Perola rye coffee and Karo chicory, both produced by the Franck and Son company.
Synopsis
The clock shows midnight and the kitchen wakes up - a coffee mill starts milling, the flames of a gas cooker dance around a kettle, even the cups and saucers from the coffee set perform a little dance. Everything necessary for making coffee gets ready for the wedding. The groom is the Perola rye coffee, the bride is the Karo chicory, produced under the trademark "Coffee Mill". The coffee, made of Perola and Karo, burbles on the cooker. It is the honeymoon of the newlyweds, and the coffee set is eager to be filled. The end of the commercial features colour images of Perola and Karo - the products of the Franck and Son company.
Note
Two colour parts of the film present the promoted products (10.3 meters) and the mark of production company I.R.E. Film (4.7 meters).
