Except for the initial airport sequence, the entire studio-oriented film was shot in a Warner Bros.Hollywood/Burbank studio.Many other 40s stars were considered for the lead roles: Hedy Lamarr, "Oomph Girl" Ann Sheridan, French actress Michele Morgan, and George Raft.Soon, it was trees and dark, my brothers, with real country dark.We fillied around for a while with other travellers of the night, playing hogs of the road.Then we headed west, what we were after now was the old surprise visit.That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultra-violence.At an opulent residence welcomingly marked with a lit "HOME" panel sign, the four sneak up toward the door of the ultra-modern home, a monstrosity of futuristic architectural design.Two kidnappings by Luthor""s agent Knyazev and his men occurred in rapid succession, to lure and draw Superman back.The film was dedicated to special effects wizard Stan Winston, who worked on the film up until his death.
