SUPERMAN - TIME AFTER TIME - 
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.

Jor-El, seeing the end of Kryton, places his young son Kal-El into a space capsule, which is then launched towards the planet Earth. That's the basic footage of this trailer, with the scenes of the capsule as it speeds through space, and the young boy being found by the Kent's. 

Also shown is Superman's first flight inside the Fortress of Solitude and the final flying shot of the film.
Running time 2' 36". 
Print/Sound A/B

The Time After Time trailer is a very short (1' 12") item giving just the bare outlines of the plot as H. G. Wells fellows Jack The Ripper through time. 
Average quality.
Print/Sound A/B

The Empire Strikes Back features a montage of scenes, with the narrator adding extra information. 
Print/Sound A/B.

Three interesting 'scope trailers with a small amount of black edging giving better screen ratio than the 2.65 which most labs distort the picture onto, badly cropping the top and bottom of the picture. Not so in this case and the last notes of the music are not clipped either. 

Those of you who buy a lot of trailers will know what I mean
