"The notion that such persons are gay of heart and carefree is curiously untrue. They lead, as a matter of fact, an existence of jumpiness and apprehension. They sit on the edge of the chair of Literature. In the house of Life they have the feeling that they have never taken off their overcoats."

This is arguably one of the worst trailers in history. It starts out well enough, and then the announcer says, "... and all the weird black magic that the white man seldom sees."
