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.
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.
