Television Trivia -- Help!!! Answer: Leonard Pinth-Garnell!

[FergieTCat]

This has been bothering me since Friday night. Help!!

In the late 60's or early 70's, there was a television commercial about an album which had movie themes that really were frin classical symphonies. The only thing I can remember was "Did you know that "Strangers in Paradise" was really the "Polovestzian Dance No. 2 by Borodin""

My question is ... what was the name of the man narrating the commercial? I think he had three names, and he sounded really snobby.

I hope someone can remember this, 'cause I sure can't!

I thought Leonard Pinth-Garnell was a Dan Aykroyd character? He did "Bad Cinema" or "Bad Theatre".

I can't say for sure, but I seem to recall Lorne Green (Bonanza) doing a commercial for something like that.
