I cannot understand a thing that she is saying, due to her accent. Does anybody have a copy of the script, or a good ear?

I always loved how she covers up the fact that the crappy door latch didn't catch but just let the door bounce (OOPS!). Right about :45. Must be she expected it to happenProud NON-CASO

Has anyone ever considered that the door was staged so it would not slam and therefore create a noise that might be magnified in volume on a sound stage? It looks to me in one scene that the door "bounces" off of a stop (rubber?) and was deliberate.

I don't know how anyone could possibly do a study to determine that, but I would guess, no.[/QUOTE]
I've had two Lark hardtops, and even with the first one restored, I'd say in my experience, the answer is 'yes'!

What Bill said. All of my Stude cars had bouncing doors if you didn't push them hard enough to latch. I remember one that was almost as though it was spring loaded. Press the handle button on the outside, and the door would pop open all on its own. I think that was the passenger door on my old '58.Last edited by mbstude; 08-24-2011, 08:14 AM.

Well, Mr. Andrews, since neither one of us was there in '63 when that was filmed, I guess we will never know.
I was just stating how it looked to me and I have watched that commercial many, many times. It appears the door was deliberately staged so it would not shut (or slam) closed.
In the future, I'll keep my thoughts and opinions to myself and you won't have to comment to them.
Perhaps I'm being overly sensitive today but I have often thought some of you need a major refresher course in how to state your responses without making someone else feel bad or ignorant for something they posted.
Best regards
