Quote from: Daniel Robert Epstein
Most people credit the beauty and majesty of the first Superman film and what was good about Superman II to Richard Donner. But one mustn’t forget the screenplay which nigh perfectly translated everything that was good about the characters onto paper.

Much of that screenplay was done by 1970’s James Bond screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz. Now after 26 years all the fans can enjoy what Superman II was really supposed to be with the release of Superman II - The Richard Donner Cut on DVD. Editor Michael Thau collected over six tons of lost Superman II footage and along with the help of Donner and Mankiewicz have a made a film which has surpassed the original theatrical release and would have made Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster proud . I got a chance to talk with Mankiewicz from his home in California about the new release.
