Sunday Morning Surprise - The Story of Superman


This documentary, released around the 50th Anniversary of Superman (some sources state 1990) and released on cheap VHS, covers many of the usual topics brought up in such documentaries, but focuses mainly on the Golden Age.  Most interestingly, it covers the contributions of the radio show (creation of kryptonite, etc), the Fleischer cartoons (but neglects to mention they brought the concept of Superman flying to the mythos), the serials, and most interestingly, a lot of the early merchandise.  All in all, it's a great watch!
