Great American Dream Machine Geritol Commercial

I recall Marshal Efron carefully exhibiting and explaining deadpan various unremarkable objects as would a collector of the rarest of fine art... ''and this is a bicycle wheel I picked up...

But I'm most wondering if anyone else remembers the GADM send-up of a Geritol commercial that features a male talking into the camera about the benefits of the elixir while a very good looking woman enters the room, prances around in increasing stages of undress and movement from the background to the foreground and ends with him confiding...

''She takes two tablespoons a day... My wife... I think I'll keep her...''

I'd love to see that one again...
