...screen, the roster of professionals is equally impressive. Hollywood Cameraman George Folsey, who has been nominated for an Oscar 13 times, now trains his lens on Miller High Life beer and Sanka coffee.

Dress Designer Bill Blass does the wardrobe for the models who are seen nuzzling up to the Princess telephone...
