You have to remember that Ed was a *VERY* busy man. Not only did he have his Sunday night show to produce and host, he also oversaw his daily newspaper column, and was *always* on the go- looking for new talent, interviewing celebrities, et. al.. He was hustled into a studio, and read his testimonial from cue cards. He didn't have THAT much time to devote to this trailer- yet this was a crucial one, because no matter how much he "plugged" the movie on his October 9, 1955 telecast {mentioned at 0:39}, the public would be the ones to decide whether they liked a movie version of "Guys and Dolls" or not.

Yup, fifteen degrees away from the camera 😂
