I still get a " Thrill" out of anything Pertaining to George Reeves Superman....he was ours ..and always will be.

George Reeves was a really underrated actor. His comedic banter with Lois (Noel Neill), Jimmy (Jack Larson) and Perry (Neil Hamilton) was always entertaining. And he could play deadly serious when he had to. Another near-great taken from us far too early.

I too agree with you about George Reeves, and I so wish I could have met him. In 1957, when he made an appearance at the Reading (PA) Fair we were about 15 miles apart, but I regret not knowing about it at the time. I've watched George in other roles, but in my mind, he was absolutely perfect as Superman and Clark Kent.

Good thing that Superman turned the radio back on so that he can hear the rest of the weather report and heard that a storm is coming and that the shock of getting hit by lightning will get himself decontaminated from the radiation he got saving Metropolis earlier.

Once again, Jim, thank you for reminding us how magnificent George Reeves was as Superman. These flying scenes are brilliant, and in close-up, Reeves makes for a handsome, dashing hero (as usual). My favourite year is the first (1951), but these second year black-and-whites are nicely done, too. I realize that Kellogg’s was the sponsor and set the tone, but the colour, kiddie-friendly episodes don’t really do much for me.

I go way back when this Superman series first aired. I always like the sequences when Superman stood right in front of a gunman, without flinching, allowed the gunman to empty his weapon on him. Then when the gun was empty, the villain would throw his revolver at Superman. The curious part was, despite being shot with six bullets with absolutely no concern, Superman felt the need to duck the thrown gun.
@jimnolt-TAC2 ай бұрын
Randall, I address that in one of my other vidoes. Superman did, indeed, duck when a gun was thrown. That happened only one time, however, and it wasn't George who so quickly got out of the way. It was stuntman Dale Van Sickel in "The Mind Machine." I can't be sure of the reason for his action, but I can guess. If you watch the scene you can see that it was a real gun, not a prop that would bounce off harmlessly. Still, the director should have planned for that and made adjustments.
