Beyond belief

I don't even think Mystery Science Theatre 3000 would touch this! (Seems to be about on the same level as the later SUPERMAN film from India.) How the filmmakers got this into theatres (and kept themselves out of court) remains a mystery the Man of Steel could not solve. The film opens with the camera floating through space...space being a black cloth with out of focus Christmas tree ornaments. Superman in flight was accomplished with a department store doll and rear projection. (Granted, the rear projection is not bad, but the doll's performance seemed a bit wooden.) Out of all the performers, the only one who comes across as an actor is the actress playing Lois Lane. Soundtrack music is pretty much limited to playing the double album of John William's SUPERMAN score, with snippets of classic music tossed in during certain scenes.
