Brace for double trouble three times over! 1953's "The Face and the Voice" features "Adventures of Superman" star George Reeves as both hero and bad guy. Besides his usual dual roles of Clark Kent and Superman, Reeves is a dimwitted gangster who has a facelift to look like Superman. As the phony, he robs Metropolis with ease - making the real caped hero a wanted man! The roots of this memorable script are in the animated "Showdown" (1942), a bonus addition to this video. Like the live-action episode, this clever Fleischer Studios cartoon follows a fake Superman on a crime spree. You'll see why this tantalizing plot invited retelling on television. While only one Man of Steel inhabits 1955's color "Jimmy the Kid" (1955), Jack Larson plays Jimmy Olsen and fast-talking, pugnacious mobster Kid Collins, who looks enough like Olsen to pass as the cub reporter. He wants some incriminating evidence in Daily Planet files, but the trail leads him to Kent's apartment - and a secrete closet there! Expect some fancy explaining from Clark, surefire excitement from Superman - and thorough enjoyment for you.
