Wonder if he ever had to pay for the wall repairs??..."Thanks for saving us dude...but...uhh...we haven't got any money to fix this gaping hole in the wall...."
The color on seasons 3-6 looks more spectacular here than on the DVDs. If Warner Brothers restored the original Technicolor prints for blue-ray, they would look SuperB.
Reeves version of Superman was the best. He played the way it should have been and he played Clark kent with some realitiy, not as a dumb fool as other over played it.
If Superman has X-ray vision, why does he have to stop and look around first to find what he's after? He'd just bust through the obstacle and keep going.
I remember watching the Superman TV series when I was a kid. Now I have the entire run on DVD. Interesting that the original costume that he wore for the first 2 seasons were not the red and blue costume since they liked the contrast on black and white created with the other costume.
i may be a superdope, because i have all the superman eps on dvd, but which ep does the scene at 0:30 appear in, the one where he smashes into the house, finds the place empty, and puts his fists on his sides? it shows three stacks of money on the table.
actualy Jack Larson, (Jimmy Olsen) said that George loved to do that stuff, and if you want to know why. just stack up some beanbags like a wall and burst through it! it's a lot of fun!!!
Fun-Fact: in one episode Jimmy asks Supes why he doesn't just use the door. Superman's reply was "well this seemed a little more spectacular!"
The video itself seems to agree with that comment, the actor looks like he's either sick of bursting through so many walls, or vaguely amused by it, in many of the shots
When I saw the title of this video, I was expecting Superman knocking the crooks around a bit, but this was great, too. George Reeves is my favorite Superman (which is odd coming from me, considering I was born in 1982.....)
All these sequences were performed by George Reeves himself, he preferred doing it over a stuntman. He really put a lot of effort in his portrayal as the Man Of Steel, making him the best Superman over many others.
Actually Warner Bros didn't produce the original 1950s series...it was produced by National Comics Publications (DC Comics) before it got sucked up by Warner Communications in the 1970s....still it takes me back to when television was still innocent and campy was cool!
I don't care who plays the role in the present day: George Reeves will always be for Superman what Guy Williams was for Zorro. You just can't beat him.
According to Jack Larson (Jimmy Olson) Reeves took pride in those 'explosive' entrances. Its unfortunate that he was typecast in the role. Part of it was due to TV but also because he was great in the role. For a whole generation George Reeves WAS Superman. Seeing these clips makes me remember why I loved this progran as a kid. And anyone who thinks this show was inferior to the later movies watch the first season with Phyllis Coats. Great TV.
Cool entrances, George Reeves sure got dirty in a couple of them lol. Btw, at :29, was that wall smash really necessary? XD It was just a fort wall, couldn't he have just flown over it?
