Promotional advertising

During the promotional advertising for this movie, a large movie promotional ad ran in local papers with members of the cast pictured and the title "Telefon" in the ad. Also, listed in the ad was a telephone number, when called, played a portion of the Robert Frost poem used in the film:

"The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep,
and miles to go before I sleep.
Remember, Nicolai.
Miles to go before I sleep..."

Does anyone besides me remember this phone number in this ad and it's message?
It was quite a good marketing idea.

I remember that ad campaign to this day. I think I called the number at least two or three times, and, if I recall correctly, you hear the explosion of the heliocopter Sheree North blows up on the phone.

"He IS Redstone."
