What set George Reeves apart from all others is that he had the presence of mind to play Clark Kent as a regular dude you'd like to hang out and shoot pool and play poker with. His Kent was understated enough that no one would connect him to Superman, and he didn't have to overcompensate with the bumbling cowardly clod routine to hide the dual identity. And George had a quick wit, that million dollar smile and that mischievous wink that would light up a room. God bless you, George!!!

Much as I like George Reeves' depiction, both the TV show and the movie were adaptations of the original source material, the Superman comic books. Chris Reeve did a vastly better job of capturing the Clark Kent of the comics than George did -- though I think George's Superman came closer to the comics than Chris's gee-whiz version.

@@bobbuethe1477 Have you seen how Kirk Allyn played the roles, or heard how Bud Colyer (on radio and in voice-over) did? They were closer to the idea of the comics than George Reeves played it, yet didn't make Clark Kent look like an idiot as in Chrisopher Reeve's characterization. George Reeves played both roles as "cool", which I'm not sure was appropriate but is the take that actor was known for.

Famously, he gave Superman his punch line smile and wink, which these you from time time. George Reeves has to be honesty the best Superman for the 50s in all his playing both Superman and Clark are a pleasure to watch. It's such shame he didn't receive the praise he should of he died to soon I think if had lived he would have done some great movies and might of appeared in the Superman of the 70s as Jor El Superman's father or Perry White?

I have to correct your assessment there. Christopher Reeve intentionally played Clark as bumbling and awkward to offset against superman. This wasn’t the 50s anymore and a pair of glasses just wasn’t going to cut it on the big screen. You literally see Clark becoming superman before your eyes when he drops Lois back to her balcony and then knocks at the door as Clark. Glasses or no glasses he is literally two completely different people. Following reeve, yes I agree that there has never been another actor come anywhere close to either reeve or reeves. But I think you’ll find the layer actors are copying reeve without properly understanding “why” he played Clark as he did. It was his height change, his voice change, it was as complete a transformation as it’s possible to physically achieve with your only prop being a pair of glasses. I think you’re being a bit unfair to what Chris reeve really achieved in doing that. Certainly from an acting pov

I liked his George's Clark Kent portrayal. His wasn't the traditional 98 pound weaking that is so often seen. His Kent was definately confrontational at times.

I remember an episode where they had all been sealed in a cave and were being exposed to a gas that would cause amnesia and then death. I think they were in Egypt but I could be wrong. With no other choice, Clark says, "Well, there's no point keeping this a secret any more," and breaks his chains and breaks open the cave wall. He then freed Jimmy so that, after the gas had cause the amnesia, it would look like he had somehow broken free and saved them but, for a brief moment, Lois, Jimmy and Perry knew the truth. George Reeves, R.I.P.

Chris Reeve may have been a great Superman but nobody has played Clark Kent the way George Reeves did, what an actor !!!

There were many times when Lois seemed to suspect...and there's even one episode where she dreams that Superman proposes to her, and that she joyfully accepts, but later confides to him that she's afraid she has feelings for Clark. At which point - he tells her th secret - and since it's her dream, that would suggest she either suspects it's true or wants it that way. When she wakes from her dream, she calls Clark "Superman" and then asks if any of her dream was true. In another episode, she sets up a situation where Clark has to interview Superman, and it's pretty clear she's doing it to set a trap.

Great video! Showcased some of the classic Clark/Supes moments from the show. My friend and I got to meet Noel Neill at ECCC (comicon) in Seattle in 2009. He had always talked about meeting her. She was well into her late 70's and such a sweet lady. We both got a pic with her and he bought some pics from her table. Funny thing, he bought 2 but she only charged him for 1. Anyway, my friend died later that year, so at least he got his wish.

I just learned (honest!) from "The Adventures of Superman Second Season Goofs" video of KZreadr Tvcrazyman that in issue #330 of the Superman comic book, Superman explains that he uses unconscious super-hypnotism to look different to other people when he is Clark. So, it looks like whoever wrote this comic book story in the late seventies beat me to the punch.

Great, I forgot how much I enjoyed this show as a kid. Watched it every day!

There was a comic book story, "The Master Hypnotist of Metropolis," early in Julie Schwartz's run as editor on Superman comics after Mort Weisinger retired in 1970. It held that the Kryptonian-glass lenses in Clark's glasses hypnotized everybody into thinking that Clark didn't look like Superman at all. The story didn't quite explain how Clark also looked different in photos and on video. The thing is, the disguise works because stories about Superman require it to do so.
