Den 16 juni 1959 är, likt dagen då JFK sköts i Dallas, ett datum då alla amerikaner minns exakt vad de gjorde - i alla fall de som var i pojkåldern. Det var då 'Superman' hittades död, eller rättare sagt George Reeves, skådespelaren som så framgångsrikt gestaltade superhjälten på tv att de två blev helt sammanväxta med varandra. Genom tillbakablickar på Reeves tid i Hollywood under 50-talets första hälft, får vi följa privatsnoken Louis Simo i spåren efter sanningen om Reeves fortfarande ouppklarade död. Ett melankoliskt och atmosfärladdat stycke film noir med Ben Affleck i sitt livs roll som träig 'super'-stjärna.

MEDLEMSSRECENSIONER

Hollywoodland

av  Gunvor
Detta är drömfabrikens skildring av sig själv, med dess böjelser, bevekelser och Stålmannens död. Helt okej!

Långtråkig.

av  Sweet
Går att se om det inte finns något annat att se.

Bra Film Noir

av  JZ
Brody är riktigt bra och Affleck fick äntligen bli Stålmannen på film! Bra och välspelad film, om än lite för lång.

SEEEEEEG

av  Honung
hade kunnat vara bra, men är rörig och framförallt SEG!


Kuriosa

FAKTA
George Reeves. George Bessolo Reeves (b. George Keefer Brewer to Don Brewer and Helen Lescher) (January 5 [1], 1914 ? June 16, 1959) was an American actor, best known for playing the role of Superman on the television series Adventures of Superman in the 1950s. He was offered the role of Superman in a television series. At first he was reluctant to take the role. Like many actors, he considered television to be unimportant and thought that few would see his work. He was astonished when he became a national celebrity. He became so well known that he was often forced to do personal appearances as Superman. After the series went off the air, Reeves found himself so typecast as Superman that it was difficult for him to find other roles and this was said to have deeply saddened him. In the early morning hours of June 16, 1959, three days before a planned wedding to Lenore Lemmon, Reeves went to bed after a long night with guests. Shortly thereafter, a shot rang out, and he was found dead in his bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head. From the moment police arrived, the case was treated as suicide as all the guests concluded there could be no other explanation. An official inquiry concluded that the death was indeed suicide. His disbelieving mother employed Private Investigator Jerry Geisler to conduct an investigation of his own, thereby postponing the cremation of the body for 3 years. However, both Geisler and Reeves' mother died before any substantial new evidence could be discovered. With suicide the official verdict, much speculation resulted as to whether it was because of Reeves' "failed career". It was also noted that he had suffered a concussion in an auto accident shortly before his death, leading some to suspect that his mental health had been compromised. These facts are recounted in Gary Grossman's 1976 book, Superman: Serial to Cereal. At that time, suicide was the predominant presumed cause of death, and various reasons were cited to justify or explain it.
