Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Struggling private investigator Louis Simo treats his work more as a means to make a living than a want to do right by what few clients he has. Through connections with the investigation firm for which he used to work, Simo is hired by Helen Bessolo to investigate the death of her son, actor George Reeves. Reeves was best known for his title role in Adventures of Superman (1952), a role which he always despised, in part since it typecast him as a "cartoon", despite it bringing him a certain fame. His June 16, 1959 death by a single gunshot wound while in his bedroom in his Los Angeles home was ruled a suicide by the police, the death which occurred when the house was filled with people. Reeves' story is told in part in flashback as Simo, who is trying to make a name for himself with this case, talks to or tries to talk to some of the players involved, most specifically the wife of MGM General Manager E.J. Mannix, Toni Mannix, with whom Reeves was having a relatively open and gift-lucrative affair (she bought him that house), and Reeves' fiancée at the time of his death, Lenore Lemmon, an aspiring actress who some felt didn't love Reeves (or vice versa). As Simo proceeds with his high-profile investigation, he learns that someone doesn't want him snooping around. Through the process, Simo evaluates his own professional and personal life, the latter of which includes a somewhat strained relationship with his wife and son. Written by Huggo |

Kenneth Giles:
[after defeating villains in a live show]
Hey, Superman! Hey, Superman! George Reeves: Well, hello there, young man, what's your name? Kenneth Giles: [brandishing a gun] Kenneth Giles. Can I shoot you? George Reeves: [he sees that it's a real gun and is suddenly very serious] Kenneth, why would you want to do something like that? Kenneth Giles: So the bullet bounces off. Can I? George Reeves: Well, if you did shoot me and the bullet bounced off, it might accidentally hit someone else. We don't want that to happen, do we? Kenneth Giles: No... George Reeves: Why don't you just, you and I... Here we go, partner. Why don't you just give me that? Just hand me that... See more » |
