- Not the most accurate movie, But very well acted. I enjoy this sceen as when I visited Reeves house in Benedict Canyon I could actually feel Reeves anguish. So can Adrian Brodi here. Yes I do believe he killed himself. I think he was depressed. And in a era when it wasn't even diagnosed. That's why he was such a caring giving Superman. He didn’t want others to feel how he did inside.

It makes me so sad that he suffered so badly. He made everyone happy and couldn't make himself happy. Breaks my heart.
If he did commit suicide it wasn’t because of Superman. It was because of Hollywood. They treated him so unfairly and made his life very difficult. The guy lived to act and perform and loved it and because he was so loved because he played Superman they wouldn’t cast him in anything else because he was so loved for playing Superman. It’s so sad and unfair what they did to him
He was murder
Ya back then they treated television stars second rate. He couldn’t make it big in movies after Superman. He should of just stayed with Toni for four more years and shared Eddie mannix’s money after he died. All so sad...
It’s like Robin Williams
So true. The '40,000 foot view' story of so many lives. The only time you feel any tiny bit of fleeting hope or happiness is when you feel it in or for someone else.

from what i read george made $5000.00 an episode from superman.
you would think after 104 episodes he would've made enough money to live a comfortable existence.
his house was essentially paid for by toni mannix and in his name.
his clothes and car were even paid for by toni mannix.
so basically if suicide was in play
1.) he wasn't happy with how his career was going
2.) lennore lemon was probably making him miserable
3.) he probably suffered from depression
4.) he was also strapped for cash due to bad investments?
i mean being killed by someone was pretty much almost impossible.
his room window was tiny. there would've been no way for the suspect to escape without bein seen as we read in the police report one of the guests dasehd up the stairs as soon as the shot was heard..
but his murder scene was weird. 2 shots in the floor. blood splattered to hte ceiling.
gun to the floor. bullet casing underneath him. stripped to the nude.
@@joeswanson733 My theory on the bullet casing being underneath him must mean that he must’ve been holding the Lugar upside down to his head. George was making a great living. But he wanted to be a movie star. And Hollywood was just not willing to give him that. And I guess people started to make him look and feel like a joke because he played Superman. And every time he was invited to appear on a television show or in a movie they always wanted him to play Superman.
@@JG1570 that's where if george was willing to change his perspective on life...well he would've or could've lived for additional decades. i mena it's like what leonard nimoy said better being remembered for a role than not being remembered at all.
@@joeswanson733 yeah, but imagine playing a role of a character for a very very long time
@@JG1570 George Reeves was tormented by his exes. They were the reason of his suicide.
RIP George Reeves (January 5, 1914 - June 16, 1959), aged 45
You will be remembered as a legend.
Decided to look this up after the new BuzzFeed Unsolved episode. Now I gotta watch the movie
Same
lmaoo same
WORR, Same!!!
SAME
He was a great wrestler a great boxer judo expert and incredible actor. He had two women fighting over him he had just signed on to direct some films in Latin America and gotten a whopping sum of money to shoot more Superman episodes. He was a little disappointed in the turn his career had taken from being in films Like so proudly we hail and gone with the wind down to playing Superman but I don’t think that would be enough to put him over the edge like that. Like I said above, I believe he may have had clinical depression in a era where there was no help.
I believe lennore lemmon killed him or Eddie mannix cop friends or the mob but he was depressed he had a lot more seasons of Superman and Movies this was a homcide
Shakeyra Ware I agree he didn’t commit suicide
He was murder
I think it was suicide. He was in a fake town surrounded by fake people. He did have a few close friends but they weren't the people in his life.
Lenore Lemmon killed him in a drunken rage. The LAPD decided early to apply the “suicide” label, and allowed her and the other drunks in the house to walk away! Absolutely maddening!
Idc what anybody says Ben Affleck can act
He can write, act and direct. Just because he makes a crap movie for a huge ass paycheck (regardless of disappointing box office numbers) occasionally. The Town was phenomenal.
@@doinksinthePM fr
In these movies he can. In superhero ones... Not since his daredevil
@@tijera1234
His performance as Batman was good.
@@Neethan3247 No it wasnt. Maybe as Bruce Wayne I concede you the point but as Batman nope.
Those who smile the brightest are the ones who are the most saddest
I'll fix that for you:
"Those who smile the most, are the least happy."
An excellent underrated movie
It helped to open my eyes to the many painful truths about Hollywood and all the actors and actresses who have so sadly suffered as George Reeves had.
R.I.P., George.
Superman historically has a heavy impact on the careers of the actors, they all struggle afterwards (some worse than others) despite winning over the public for playing the last son of Krypton
In this film, “Hollywoodland,” three scenarios are presented: First, Reeves was killed in a struggle with a drunken, bitter Lenore Lemmon; second, the Mannixes hired a hit-man to kill Reeves; and finally, this scene depicting suicide. I opt for the first one. The suicide theory is crap!
The first for sure. Why else would it take them so long to call the police?
@@amt-vi1uo Absolutely! About 45 minutes - time for these drunken bums to get their stories straight. It’s incredible that they were not pulled in for more questioning, that night or any other day! Lenore Lemmon returned to the house within the week, broke the police seal, and swiped some liquor, luncheon meat, and - most importantly - traveller’s cheques. With all that, she was allowed to flee to New York, where she spent the next thirty years drinking herself into a daily stupor.
This is not in the film, but Reeves and Lemmon were out to dinner that very night. The man who played piano at the restaurant (I forget his name - Merrill Sparks, I think) remembered Lemmon working the bar, even when out with her “fiancé.” He said the couple argued loudly at dinner, and left the same way. (That may have been the reason Reeves was in a bad mood when he went to bed.)
Bottom line: the LAPD did not fulfill their duties in investigating the death of George Reeves.
But the police were part of the cover up, so the truth will never be known.
*You're here from BuzzFeed Unsolved aren't you?*
Yep 🤣
Nope, from the RUclips video: The History Of Superman
No
@@notaneboy yeah you are
@@gmanzano89gm I came from the supean Ben Affleck vid
Sadly Jason David Frank has the same fate. RIP GREEN RANGER😢😢😢😢😢😢
Shit. I didn't know about that. Depression sucks big time.
Wow! That's deep
One of the saddest moments in the history of cinema!
So many stars in Hollywood mysteriously died. Maybe Hollywood pressured them so bad, they committed suicide, or maybe their deaths are fr something going on in Hollywood. Freaky
Some of Hollywood big producers have ties with mafia members
Now people are attacking DC and every movie DC releases and are saying they feel bad for him... Liars LIARS!
I don't think that George Reeves did commit suicide. On the night June 1959, because he was happy with the idea that he was going to be directing in the Superman series, and that they were going to get a higher salary.
According to Phyllis Coates, Reeves also had a film directing assignment lined up. (He was leaning toward sci-fi and occult thrillers.) He offered Coates a role, so she saw a copy of the script. Two days before his death, Reeves was back on the “Superman” set planning the new shows.
Suicidio o asesinato? Nunca investigaron prolijamente, habían 5 disparos en la habitación aparte del que tenía en su cabeza, no tenía huellas dactilares el arma, es un episodio muy raro y confuso
George wanted to be a Star and ended up in a kid's TV show and couldn't find work I can believe he did it but we'll never know
1:15 look of depression and pain
And sadness.
I like to think George Reeves is Superman on Earth 4.
Who’s the guy playing George in this (edit: nvm it’s ben affleck)
B a r r y it’s Ben Affleck dumbass
I can see his Bruce Wayne in this scene. Like after a long day of endless crime fighting in Gotham, he's tired physically and mentally. And realize he'll be doing this forever.
Oh fuck off he was a terrible Bruce..:
Agreed
Great movie. I was in that movie
How?
@@codywelter5302 I'm going to win Powerball tonight and megamillion Friday night. I'm worth 64 million dollars. God bless Trump and John Gotti and lottery and Superman

Great movie never saw it.
Why does misfortune befall most actors of superman?
They did it to Judy Garland , singer actress
jesus was our very first hero
The night he died he had a fight with the woman he was going to marry and she let people come in the house when he was sleeping that is not a person who is going to kill himself that is he wanted to sleep and the people had know right to be in the house
He wanted to act. Not just as superman.
He was struck. Mistress husband black walled him
I wonder if he really did commit suicide. Poor George.🙏🏻🦸
Why
Reeves was murdered, he didn’t kill himself and the room didn’t have any windows.
Why?
@@HardKore5250 the b*** killed him
he was killed. He had an affair with the director's wife.
the b*** killed him. he wasn't out of work the seventh season that just been picked up
It makes me so sad 😞🥺😭😢 to is George Reeves death 💀. I think he was murdered I think Eddie Mannix had something to do with it. I think he hired a hitman that’s snuck in through the window and shot him I feel so bad I believe George Was murdered Hollywood treated him so not cool🥺 The police had a stupid investigation they didn’t even take pictures maybe there is missing evidence that could’ve let us whoever did it but now his things to the police we never going to know 😡 I think Eddie Mannix hired a hitman to do it😭 I don’t care if I’m spelling Eddie Mannix name wrong he’s a jerk I believe George Reeves was murder I think they’re a hitman snuck in through the window and work George up he try to fight back back but but the hitman beats him and shoots him and when he hears the people who live in the house come and he wipes up all the vinaigrettes made it look like suicide and snuck out through the window . Rest in peace George Reeves you will be remember 🥺 we miss you 😪
IRL George Reeves room had no windows.
FYI George room had no windows, maybe the killer was hiding under the bed.
Why repeat the same statement three times?
George alcohol blood levels were . 24. Alot of booze!!
he was killed. He had an affair with the director's wife.
@@sandersonbr18 George was a full blown alcoholic. He got tired of living
What the hell is even this movie?
A fictional retelling of George Reeves, the first actor who ever played Superman, death where he committed suicide
@@TheJohn9910 Thank you good sir!
