[Shep Shepperton] The guy in the white suit represents the concept of "risk".
...and since the risk of bad things happening is ever present, they shoot the commerical at night, to demonstrate that, "Risk Never Sleeps". It never rests, it never goes on vacation, nada. It's always there!
Get it? (because from the above comments, I doesn't look like everyone does)
Here's something else...since everyone (and their grandmother) wants to find the album that contains the soundtrack to this commerical and since the name of the composer of the Stride piano / Art Tatum-esque soundtrack comes up "nil", it could be that the piece was written strictly for the commercial and that's all there is of it (well, enough to do the fade out, anyway).
This phenomena reminds me of the diamond commercial from the 90's when everyone went "ga-ga" over the romantic-era / classically inspired soundtrack that ran over that one.
That one went over so well, the composer actually finished the piece (yes, I was one of the clowns who actually bought the tape. I still have it. It's called "Diamnond Music", for obvious reasons).
Maybe if enough of us write to Traveller's Ins. or whoever handles Robert Miller, maybe he too will be inspired to finish the piece...maybe even create a whole album of like tunes?
...either that, or we're all mistaken on the name of the composer.

[L.N. Smithee] The outdoor portions of this commercial were shot within a two-block area in downtown San Francisco. The first version, in which Risk topples figurines with a floor buffer, was shot in the lobby of the Crown Zellerbach building.
