"Mrs. Superman" - Wow!
ccthemovieman-18 March 2007
"Duke Barlow" is being given a lie-detector test by Inspector Henderson, with Superman looking on. The police are trying to find the mastermind of a huge crime ring. "Duke" was just one small guy in the gang, who got caught robbing a bank. He's pretty smug for a little man in the business and he tells the truth. He only knows the ringleader by the name of "Mr. X."

Superman, Henderson and his whole crew can't figure out who "Mr. X" could be, and it's driving them crazy. Henderson introduces "Sgt. O'Hara," a blonde bombshell, to Superman. Out of nowhere, Superman asks her, "Will you marry me?" Henderson does a double-take and the sergeant says, "Well, I'd be delighted."

Hey, the actress was Joi Lansing, who I remember quite well. She was awesome! The headline in the Daily Planet the next morning reads, "Superman Marries." Lois Lane wrote the story and is bummed out. Poor Noel Neill....competing against Joi Lansing. Forget it. It's like your local high school football team playing the New England Patriots.

Mr. X (series regular John Eldredge), the head of the crime syndicate, kidnaps "Mrs. Superman." By doing so, he thinks he can keep Superman away from his crime activities.

How is that? Did Superman really marry this woman, or is it just a ploy to nab the bad guys? If so, how are Mr. and Mrs. Superman (sounds odd, doesn't it?) going to capture the arrogant Mr. X and his followers? How do Lois, Jimmy and Mr. White figure in on the plans? I'm not saying, except it involves a "bathysphere." Olsen asked Perry what that was, and White called him "a blockhead," so I guess I am, too. (It's a diving bell in which people get in and explore the ocean depths).

Anway, being a blockhead, I enjoyed ogling "Mrs. Superman," who was hot, although I wish I could what she looked like 15 years earlier. According to the IMDb profile of her, she must have been something else!!

Poor Lois
Hitchcoc15 February 2015
There is a big time crime boss who is unknown; only his henchmen are caught. They need to find a way. They enlist the help of a gorgeous fifties blonde bombshell. Superman meets her and immediately ask her to marry him. She agrees. Then the crime boss springs into action. First, he has Mrs. Superman kidnapped and brought to his offices. Next, he tricks the rest of the Planet staff along with Superman, getting them to get into a bathysphere. If there's any funny business, Superman's wife will pay the price. The bad guys plan on blowing up a bridge, robbing an armored car when it hits the ground. They also tie the wife to the bridge which has a long fuse. And, of course, everyone is under water. It is the usual cliffhanger and requires a tiny bit of thought. Things depend on abject stupidity.
