WATCH NOTE

1954 live-action educational short distributed to classrooms to promote the U.S. Treasury's school savings program, featuring the cast of Adventures of Superman. Also included as a Season 2 DVD extra; this entry covers the short separately from the series' regular episodes. No other DC title is required. Thomas Carr's directing and six named performer-role assignments are verified by Rotten Tomatoes. James Lantz's Superman Homepage review credits David Chantler as writer and identifies Jess Dunlap as an additional role played by an unidentified actor. Complete writing and production-credit corroboration, official DC profile matches for Principal Garwood, Blinky and Jess Dunlap, and complete silent/background appearance coverage remain unresolved.
