Buy The Adventures of Superman: Original Television Soundtrack (1950s TV Series)
This is the original TV soundtrack from
the 1950's classic starring George Reeves as Superman. This one is from
those good old days when Superman fought for truth, justice, and the
American way. * The TV
theme for the 1950s series Adventures of Superman, starring George
Reeves, had the unusual lead-in of a harp playing a kind of stringed "drumroll"
as the camera moved through space, segueing into a dramatic brass triad
accompanied by cymbals, drums, etc., at the moment when a shooting star
explodes on the screen and the title card appears. A variation on the
classic "Faster than a speeding bullet..." was rendered by deep-voiced
actor Bill Kennedy.
The opening and closing theme, as well as a number of recurring
underscore themes from the first season (the "Phyllis Coates episodes"),
were released in 2000 on the CD Adventures of Superman: The Original
1950s TV Series from Varese Sarabande Records. The liner notes make the
point that although series musical arranger Leon Klatzkin is
conventionally credited with composing the theme, that credit is in some
doubt. The use of the Superman theme in the show became ingrained in
viewers' minds because the same section of music was played nearly every
time the scene cut to Superman flying.
