Absolutely great rare footage of George Reeves doing a Kelloggs Corn Flakes commerical. Never saw it before. Thanks for posting it. I was a great fan of Superman on TV when I was a kid.

Very cool.

Interesting footage...seeing him with the camera reminds me of my Dad and his filming us as toddlers. Looks like he and my Dad also had graying in common too. Still very sad he was gone way too soon. As far as I am concerned George was the real and only SUPERMAN I ever knew...in addition to my Dad of course!

This was the prototype of a "Kellogg's Candid Reporter" commercial that was intended for "THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN" (which was originally sponsored by Kellogg's during the '50s). It got no further than this 1955 "test footage". By this time, George Reeves' hair was thinning AND turning grey- and he had to dye it every time he appeared as "Clark Kent"/"Superman".

@fromthesidelines Thanks for the backstory.

poor george reeves, and christopher reeve; they HAD to play the role of Kal'el..they died horribly, as to others that played Kal'el---Christopher Reeve didn't duck when the horse jumped..he wasn't typecaset as george reeve...i didn't know Reeves was GRAY THOUGH

[rolex452]

@49jubilee Yes, he was aging...in an interview with Jack Larson (Jimmy Olsen), Jack mentioned that George Reeves was tired of the role, "his hair was turning white and he had to paint it", and hated the damn costume.
