Great fun! - By: Bookish Babe, 20 Dec 2006
I bought this for my boyfriend on his birthday & was forced to sit down & watch them with him. I have to say that i am glad i did as they are great fun. I always thought Christopher Reeve was the first, so i was surprised at this earlier incarnation.
Sure, they obviously had no money & special effects shots are repeated but it does have a nostalgic charm about it.
George Reeves, if a little older than expected, is excelent in his duel role of Superman/Clark Kent. He is extremely likeable with a dreamy masculine voice.
great to see this on DVD - By: Andrew Beet, 27 Jan 2006
I bought this boxset on the day it came out & i'm glad i did. i have been waiting so long for this come out on DVD. i watched the episodes that BBC1 showed. i don't think they showed the first season. the last time i saw this series was 16 years ago when as i say when BBC 1 repeated some episodes. i have watched 12 episodes of the first season so far & they are brilliant. considering this series was made in the 50's they packed so much story into the episodes that they are literallly mini movies. yes the effects are dated but for the time they were cutting edge & you can tell whenever you see george reeves flying you can tell he's on a table & that the background of the city he's flying over is put in afterwards. i'm so glad this series is being released on DVD. looking forward to buying the second season when it comes out in March. also the extras are great as well on this boxset & the commentaries are good on the four key episodes of the series.
