Perry White (Jackie Cooper), Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve)

in a modern film, this scene would involve rapid-cut camera zooms to each person in the cast delivering their lines -- in contrast to the extended-take ensemble scenes here. -- This is because no one knows how to act anymore.

The movie world lost a great legend. Jackie Cooper who began his acting career as a child actor and went on to do stage, & TV as well. Fans may known him in the little rascals shorts of the 30's & his supporting roles in The Champ, & Treasure Island among others. later he did Tv with both The People's Choice & Hennessy. but we remember him for his role as Perry White in the 4 Superman Movies. Good-Bye Mr. Cooper and Thanks for the memories. Jackie Cooper 1922-2011 : ( ....

RIP Jackie Cooper.

Not to go all "Perry White" on you but you seem to share Lois Lane's dubious talents in the typing department. It is "Margot", not "Margaret" and "Reeve", not "Reeves". And what, no mention of Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen?

@SurlyInsomniac ...There's not enough room to mention Olsen in the title.

@mschneider18xx Fair enough ;) Thanks for correcting the names, though. The Chief would have appreciated it.

Rest in peace, Jackie.
