Pan American "Far East Special" Trailer from 1963

This is apparently a TV commercial for a TV special sponsored by Pan American - the title on the lab paperwork is "Far East Special Trailer."
More material from MovieLab - this is a composite of three reels of film: a-roll, b-roll and a separate soundtrack. Very interesting putting this back together on a computer editing system. This thankfully is Ektachrome color or the color would have faded radically. No titles included with this one although I imagine that we'd have Pan American logos and something from NBC saying that this was 'IN COLOR.' I don't have the TV show - just the trailer.
