In the canon of Welles films, it seems many consider the trailers to Citizen Kane, Ambersons, and F for Fake to be (short) films in their own right. Easily understood as they are original and creative. My question, did Welles personally work on the trailers to any of his other films?

Off the top of my head, I remember that the trailers to The Stranger, Lady from Shanghai and Touch of Evil seemed to look like standard studio fare, but not sure about the others. Can anyone help?

Surely Welles had little if anything to do with the trailer for The Magnificent Ambersons. That seemed like a standard, Hollywood sales pitch. The trailer for Citizen Kane is the best trailer I've ever seen for a movie.
