[@gillianorley]

They put a prosthetic nose on the actor, to make him look more like Chris Reeves, and they ended-up dubbing Reeves' voice to replace this actor's voice, although that was not the original plan. I just looked it up. The actor's name is Jeff East.

I’m probably the same age as Glen Ford right now, but I will tell you if I’m the Director they did a great scene, but I would’ve changed the look on Glenn’s face and say something like you have to be kidding me I mean something in complete shock. I mean, you have a baby lifting a truck and they don’t even say anything.

But it was never shown before that so everybody thought he was crazy. Then we found out that when this movie was broadcast on television for the first time after the original theatrical release, it was 3 hours long (not counting the commercials!) The network showed the uncut version in order to use more commercial time. They also did this for Superman II.

[@DyenamicFilms]

They also did it with Jaws and King Kong 76. I think sometimes they aired them over two nights.

If I'm not mistaken, the woman playing the part of the mother to the young girl 'Lois Lane' is the original Lois lane in the TV series that came out in the 1950's. If it isn't, they probably picked an actress that looked like her with this in mind.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to see this movie on the big screen in those 70's. The 70's were my favourite years for cinema and life in general. As well as this movie, I also got to see Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Evel Knievel and Watch Out We're Mad which was a double bill with another movie. This is all thanks to my Mum and Dad. The 70's was a decade of magic.

[@wagfinpis]

The scene inside the train looked like an extended scene to my memory. I grew up watching this on VHS and I don't remember the girl being identified as Lois Lane. In the VHS version I think the mom just says something like, "now what did I tell you about making up stories", or something like that. I only saw it in the theater once in like 1979, when I was 5 years old.

[@blanked3]

I kinda wish I grew up during your time instead of nowadays, modern society sucks.....

[@wagfinpis]

@Jon Valler their are significant difference's in the paradigms people are growing up in every decade. It was not this way a few hundred years ago at all. Things are changing more rapidly every generation. Multiple generation's used to have more similar, if not the same, paradigms they were raised in. Things are changing in more dynamic way's then I believe you are able to consider. Additionally irregardless of what generation we're talking about not everyone grows to appreciate the retrospective of their childhood memories either. He might share more details and richness of his experience, of the past, that you have no access to, if you were more open to listening to your elders. Things are changing all the time, and I don't believe you know where we are going at all. You don't even seem to know where you come from.

[@wagfinpis]

@@blanked3 I was born in 1974, and I've seen times change, but I can ultimately say if it has gotten worse or better. It's is all different and more... for the worse, and... For the better. Good intentions do not necessarily yield good changes. We might be moving closer and closer to better potential, that we don't know how to directly intend either. History as well as our future is full of people experiencing the mutually exclusive most unimaginably best of times, and the unbelievably worst of times. Cherish the good times while they're here. Try not to worry about the past or the future. The only time that exists in reality is right now. Good luck my friends.

Many people don't know that teenage Clark Kent's voice was actually Christopher Reeve's voice. Dubbed over the younger actor's talking. FOR SOME DAMNED REASON. Because apparently the original voice of the younger actor (Jeff East) was not close enough to Christopher's, and they wanted the teen Clark to be sounding more like the 30 year old Clark in Metropolis etc. But yeah, that's actually NOT Jeff's voice, but Reeve's....dubbed in there.

[@coolcat6303]

Gillian Orley I agree wholeheartedly with that. John Williams had scores that were technically just as good (Star Wars, Raiders, ET, etc) but the Superman March was really something special.
