It sounded like he was struggling to breathe the entire time.

...that the VO5 people thought Jack Palance's skin was something men would want to emulate. "Use Skin Bracer and you too can have a face like a well-used valise."

3. Thanks for the bringing back that creepiness from my childhood
It used to freak me out also, but I had forgotten it.
Everything. His breathing. Skin. The sense that he was keeping you in that room. No arguments.

5. He has that kind of face, but he also gives off a wierd
"presence" on screen. One of his early movies - he was still Walter Palance, it was a war movie of some type - his character was the most riviting thing about the picture. He was a pretty good actor, but he really had that "wierd" thing going.

I remember that ad, and it drove me nuts to watch it.
