In episode 98 of the Man of Screen podcast, Superman gets musical as in 1975 ABC presented an adaptation of the Broadway musical, “Its a bird, its a plane, its Superman”.
Come check out this low-rent version of the musical. What was cut from the original show? How were the performances are? And is this really as poorly done as everyone says it is?
It wont take you long to figure out what Mikes opinion on this production is as you will meet a Superman with a Queens accent and Lesley Ann Warren takes her turn at a valley girl Lois Lane.
There will be death rays, conceited columnists and a 10-time Nobel Prize loser on this episode and you wont want to miss it. Or you will. Its really all a matter of perspective.
Next time: Theres going to be a slight gap in Super Friends coverage and episodes will return in early June. In two weeks, “Man of Screen at the Movies” kicks off with “Rocky”.
