Superman slips on a banana!
21 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
An ok dramedy set in the WB back lot dressed with hundreds of banana trees and a jungle train.

While watching I discovered my old pal TV Superman (George Reeves) playing a bandit. In one scene, the banana man Cagney launches Reeves off a cliff to join his fellow bandits.

It is tough to see this as either a comedy or a drama. I did love the scene where the banditos are discussing time of day and when asked "what time it is?" One looks to the sun and says it's 8 and 25." The other, after looking to the sun as well, replies, "No! It's 830! You running slow". Ha ha! It was a cute bit.

Guess in all it was sort of a good flick.
