Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

The film was originally entitled Truth, Justice, and the American Way (after Superman's famous catchphrase). However, DC Comics (which owns the rights to the Superman character) refused to allow that. It also did not allow the Superman "S" insignia to be used in any of the trailers or promotional material of the film, but oddly enough allowed it to be in the actual movie.
George Reeves's biographer, actor Jim Beaver, served as historical consultant on this film and was offered a role. He was unable to accept due to conflicts with his Deadwood schedule. Coincidentally, two of his Deadwood co-stars, Molly Parker and Larry Cedar, do appear in the film.
Movie Goof (factual errors): In the scene when Helen Bessolo visits the George Reeves' home, the studio rep repeatedly refers to the studio where The Adventures of Superman was produced as RKO Pathe. The studio at the time of the events was known as RKO General and had exited the production business in 1957.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): It is 1959, well in to the golden age of broadcast television, yet there are virtually no television antennas visible on the roofs of any of the houses in the shots of the "period" neighborhoods.
