Superman And The Mole Men
Right before filmmakers began shooting on The Adventures of Superman, the first ever feature film featuring Superman (or any super hero for that matter) was released in 1951. The film was Superman and the Mole Men. The movie was directed by Lee Sholem and starred the same people that were seen in the television program, George Reeves as Superman and Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane. In the film, Clark Kent and Lois Lane travel to the town Silsby. Reporters are flocking to the area in order to watch the drilling of the world’s deepest oil well. Unfortunately for the townspeople the drilling disturbs humanoids that are living underground and end up crawling out terrifying the people of Silsby. Of course, Superman has to emerge to save the day.
