Goofs
In the final scene, Clark Kent is clearly voiced by
Sam Parker (who was the voice of Lemuel Gulliver in the Fleischer brothers' feature-length
Gulliver's Travels). It is not clear why Clark Kent's usual voice,
Bud Collyer, did not perform this segment.

Mummy Strikes, The (1942)
** (out of 4)
A woman is convicted of murdering a scientist in Egypt but Clark is called over to go over some clues, which might point the finger at a mummy. Lois tags along and gets herself kidnapped, which means Superman must do some fighting. There aren't actually any mummies in this thing but that's not what makes it so boring. What kills this film is that it runs under eight-minutes and the action doesn't start until close to the six and a half minute mark. We get a lot of dialogue telling us what the doctor was doing in Egypt yet we get very little action and Superman doesn't even appear until the very end and it's only for a matter of seconds. The animation looks very good but the budget was apparently too tight for a good script.
