SUPERGIRL

SUPERGIRL
   Film (1984). Artistry/Cantharus. Dir Jeannot Szwarc, starring Helen Slater, Faye Dunaway, Peter O'Toole, Peter Cook, Brenda Vaccaro. Screenplay David Odell, based on the Supergirl comic. 124 mins. Colour.
   This is the last and least successful of the 4 SUPERMAN-and-spin-off films made by the Salkinds before they sold the rights to Golan and Globus of Cannon Films, who went on to make SUPERMAN IV. S is basically fantasy. The Omegahedron, a power source from Krypton'sArgo City, is lost and Supergirl (nee Kara) goes to Earth in search of it. It has fallen into the hands of a sorceress, Selena (Dunaway). Female superpowers are interestingly seen in terms of natural fertility rather than physical strength: bunnies and flowers surround sweet teenager Supergirl (Slater). The film has imaginative moments (the mountainfortress that appears in the high street, the Dore-inspired Phantom Zone) but is also incoherent and trite, and haltingly directed by a graduate from tv, Szwarc, whose most acceptable sf film was his first, BUG (1975).The novelization is Supergirl* (1984) by Norma Fox Mazer.
