 | | As might be expected, almost all trailers produced during the period of NSS supervision look and sound alike, obnoxious feasts of spectacle and stardom with bombastic, superlative titles and narration by self-important circus-barker announcers. |
 | | By 1975, NSS had been reduced to nothing more than a distribution agent for promotional materials, hired by studios to ensure that their trailers reached theaters on time, and within a few years, studios and theaters were communicating directly with no need for a middleman. |
 | | Sometimes, the trailer that makes the most dramatic impact is the one that uses understated title cards instead of the same Voice-of-God announcer or an ethereal singing voice instead of blaring rock music or the exaggerated fanfare of a full orchestra. |
