America's Boy -- Jackie Cooper
Loading...
Uploaded by veiledchamber on Jan 22, 2010
If you've seen SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE (1978), you surely remember the character of Perry White, the tough-as-nails editor of The Daily Planet. Played pitch-perfect by actor Jackie Cooper, he's one of the comedic highlights of the movie. I want the name of this flying whatchamacallit to go with the Daily Planet like bacon and eggs! Franks and beans! Death and taxes! Politics and corruption!
Cooper delivers his one-liners in a Preston Sturges staccato that helps give the 1970s film a pleasant 1930s gloss, bridging the gap between comic book and film. But if, like me, you were just a kid when you saw SUPERMAN, you may not have known that here was an actor who, fifty years earlier, was one of the most popular and recognizable in the world, courtesy of a little film called THE CHAMP.
