MartinHafer This is an obscure little curio--a special episode of "The Adventures of Superman" that was made as a public service announcement. The aim was to get children to buy stamps which would, in turn, be traded in for US Savings Bonds. But before Superman (George Reeves) preached at the kids about doing this, there was a short (and rather lame) episode involving a dumb criminal named Blinky...and Lois, who as usual, isn't too bright herself! It seems that Lois is the only witness who saw Blinky commit a crime and she lets herself be taken prisoner by him quite easily. Fortunately, Blinky isn't exactly a rocket scientist and Lois is able to get word to Superman of her predicament.Overall, this isn't a great installment of the series but is worth seeing just because it's so odd. If you are curious to see it, check it out on YouTube.
adonis98-743-186503 Superman's commitment to promote US Savings Stamps is temporarily delayed when Lois is kidnapped. To be honest i didn't expect much from this film but it was a big and pleasant suprise for it's time, it was kind of silly but unlike the previous film there was a bit effort this time around and i loved the fact that Lois was a bit smart and the end with the kids was so Superman. George Reeves was also a pretty damn good Man of Steel and i'm glad that this time they showed footage of him flying instead of the ground and i wish it was a bit longer cause it was all worth it after all. (8.5/10)
Tim-296 This 1954 short was donated by Superman, Inc. to the U.S. Treasury to encourage the youth of the day to enroll in their school Stamp Day saving program. It is the only portion of the 1950's TV series in public domain, so whenever clips of the show are aired, this is the program they choose.Stamp Day for Superman opens with Lois and Clark window shopping, when a burglar alarm sounds. Superman responds, and finds a contrite robber, who bemoans he never saved money and is reduced to crime to pay his bills. The rest of the story includes flying, crashing through walls, and a savings stamp book for Lois, Jimmy, Clark, and Superman. (yes, Superman!) Worthwhile for camp purposes, and the fact it was the last Superman segment shot in black and white
Kris Earle Had the thrill of seeing "Stamp Day for Superman" at a comic convention in 1986 with my two buddies Marc and Craig. Silliest damn Superman film I ever saw and all we did was laugh for years afterwards on how we wasted 45 minutes out of the day to see this silly flick. It is neat though. From what I remember, Supes buys war bonds or fights some evil madmen who are against the u.s. postal service. See it if you can, cause you'll never find it again -- not that I've been looking, but never saw another filming of it since 1986. How about a 6/10 just for "effort" and rarity of this short, campy flick.
