1978...

In a bizarre turn of events, Charles Chaplin's coffin is unearthed and stolen from his Swiss resting place - The infamous Star Wars Holiday Special aired on CBS...of course it was shelved at light speed, never to be seen or heard from again - Roman Polanski skipped bail, and exiled himself to the city of lights

Never liked ANY installment of Superman. Well, maybe the George Reeves' "Adventures of Superman". But I just couldn't get into the movies. :(
