    Moleman

    		World War II veteran of the South Pacific campaign in His Majesty's Navy, Commander Edward Whitehead, starred as the refined bearded gentleman who pushed Schweppes Tonic Water with the bubbly 'Schweppervescence' at a variety of cocktail parties. 'Schweppervescence! Of course!', commented Whitehead were 'Those remarkable little bubbles that last the whole drink through.' Joan Alexander played the woman whose face was never seen but whom the Commander was always talking to and trying to remember where he last met her...'Now wait, don't tell me. Was it Hong Kong? Beirut, Cairo, perhaps?' The 'Was it Paris?' campaign was created by Ogilvy and Mather Agency in 1955 and ran through the 1960s.
