The opening and closing theme of the TV series Adventures of Superman is credited to Leon Klatzkin. Despite ASCAP and the Los Angeles Times listing his many compositions for television shows, some suggest that Klatzkin was nothing more than a Mutel employee; A film cutter who helped editors select appropriate tracks for their pictures. There is a veritable industry dedicated to the attribution of the Superman theme to various other composers. Klatzkin reached a settlement with John Williams over Williams' appropriation of the Superman theme - With proceeds going to a children's charity. The dispute with Williams appears to have inspired the noted disparagement. (en)
