Review of Superman and the Mole Men (1951) by Badre B — 21 Dec 2010
The first feature length Superman film and it's actually aged well. True its no Oscar material, but given the fact it was done on a low budget it was quite good. I liked how the film's creative team turned it into a criticism on Joseph McCarthy's Red Scare propaganda also known as McCarthyism that ruined the lives of many innocent people in the US.
This film is a must see for Superman fans, comic book fans, fans of 50's movies, anyone who are interested in the use of fiction to tackle major real life issues. and anyone interested in a film that portrays monsters/creatures/aliens as sympathetic.
