    • Trivia
      The film's producers were forced to shoot a new version of the opening credits of Adventures of Superman (1952) when Warner Brothers refused permission for the actual opening credits to be used within the film.
    • Goofs
      It is 1959, well into the golden age of broadcast television, yet there are virtually no television antennas visible on the roofs of any of the houses in the shots of the "period" neighborhoods.
    • Quotes

      Kenneth Giles: [after defeating villains in a live show] Hey, Superman! Hey, Superman!

      George Reeves: Well, hello there, young man, what's your name?

      Kenneth Giles: [brandishing a gun] Kenneth Giles. Can I shoot you?

      George Reeves: [he sees that it's a real gun and is suddenly very serious] Kenneth, why would you want to do something like that?

      Kenneth Giles: So the bullet bounces off. Can I?

      George Reeves: Well, if you did shoot me and the bullet bounced off, it might accidentally hit someone else. We don't want that to happen, do we?

      Kenneth Giles: No...

      George Reeves: Why don't you just, you and I... Here we go, partner. Why don't you just give me that? Just hand me that...

    So Mixed On This One

    I'm a boomer so I was pretty young when the actor who played Superman died. Like the kid in the movie I too was disappointed tha Superman could be killed. I don't think I went half nut job like the kid did, but I was angry. After all I really believed wearing the obit and you'd have all his powers.

    On one hand this is filled with really great acting. So well crafted that it was a joy to watch. N the other hand it was frustrating by the end. I fear if I say more I'd spoil the show. It's a real roller coaster of a show.
