About this product

Product Information

Playing Superman on TV brought aspiring film actor George Reeves stardom, but it also held him back as far as more serious acting roles went. When a 45-year-old Reeves was found dead in his home in 1959, his death was ruled a suicide, and attributed to this b-level frustration. The result of a single bullet wound, Reeves's death caused controversy in and around Hollywood, where popular theories related his death to either his starlet fiancΘ, Leonore Lemmon (Robin Tunney), or his famously ongoing and unique relationship with Toni Mannix (a fabulous Diane Lane), the wife of mob-connected MGM head Eddie Mannix (Bob Hoskins).

Additional Information
HOLLYWOODLAND explores Reeves's life and tragic end from the perspective of Louis Simo (Adrien Brody), a private investigator hired by Reeves's mother shortly after his death. Cutting back and forth between scenes of ReevesÆs life and Simo's detective work, the film draws parallels between two men kept from appreciating the present by dreams of future grandeur. Ben Affleck returns to form as Reeves, a man whose hindering celebrity status may have reminded the actor of his own: despite breaking onto the scene with an Academy Award for writing GOOD WILL HUNTING in 1997, Affleck's career was at one point overshadowed by a romance as familiar to the public as Superman's cape. With close attention to detail, first-time director Allen Coulter creates two distinct worlds specific to their time, Simo's noir-ish and seedy L.A. forming a bleak contrast to the glamorous, formal Tinseltown Reeves so longed to be embraced by. An accomplished act for a first time director, HOLLYWOODLAND offers viewers a believable look into Hollywood's most glamorous bygone era. Strong performances and stylish filmmaking help fuel a mystery without a solution.

    I have been a fan of George Reeves since I saw Galahad as a child at the Saturday morning matinees. The film Hollywoodland shows him as a flawed character whose apparent suicide remains a mystery to this day. Ben Affleck plays him in a minimalist form and shows how versatile an actor he is. The support cast also are realistic when Hollywood had a thin veneer of respectability which concealed a black heart. I would recommend this movie to lovers of faction biographies with an edge.

  • Hollywoodland

    The death of legendary TV Superman George Reeves remains to this day one of Hollywood's great mysteries. Did he shoot himself or was he murdered? And if so, whodunnit? This enthralling, film noir-style thriller comes up with some answers - and also gives a glorious look at Hollywood in the 1950s. Ben Affleck plays Reeves, with Adrien Brody as the down-and-out private eye who investigates the case and Diane Lane as a dynamic femme fatale. As a true story of fame, scandal and corruption it's hard to beat.

    I love biography, so I thought this film would be interesting about George Reeve, the first televised Superman. I was not disappointed, but I found the dialogue difficult, I had the sound turned quite high, also you have to listen to every word,as the accents were quite powerful.
