A few named women here, most prominently love interests for the hero and villain, but none of them ever talk to one another.

Though I agree with the rating, I wanted to add to last commentary that apart from love interests, we also have a scientist woman, being the only one besides Superman's father that supports the correct theory about the future destruction of Krypton. Other two named not love interests are both mothers of Superman.

Ok. I just watched this again last night but I remember this scene much better today than when I was a kid. Clark is running faster than the locomotive (no pun intended) and young Lois Lane sees him. She tells her mother the truth but in mother Lane's response, she pacifies her daughter by stating to her that she has an excellent imagination and should become a reporter. Without this scene, the script would've made Lois a one dimensional love interest for Clark to mack on as Superman.
