1970s
Commercial for Barclay’s and Barclaycard; scene begins with a man walking on his hands across a street in Britain; male voiceover says “Astonishing, what you could do with a pair of hands...”, then many clips of hands in action: pottery, dialing a rotary phone, palm reading, martial art moves, pushing a car, lighting a pipe, fixing a pocket watch, massaging a baby, joining hands, unlatching a bra, seeing a Barclaycard... and then the clips get faster, representing all that hands can do; voiceover continues, “but when you’re dealing with money, isn’t it nice to know you can get a helping hand? You can, at Barclay’s Bank. You’ll get a helping hand at Barclay’s.”
