Eleventh Hour (1942)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Number twelve in the Paramount/Superman series this time takes place in Japan during WW2. Lois and Clark are there doing something but at night Superman is out becoming a saboteur. This was a minor improvement over a few of the previous shorts but this still isn't a complete winner due to a rather bland and straight-forward story. The story is just way too simple to be overly exciting or even that entertaining because not much happens. The one thing I really enjoyed about the film was the animation and more importantly the colors. I really loved the red tints that were used to show off evil and used when bombs were being dropped. I thought the design of this was very well done and one of the most memorable things in the series so far.
