SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY (2024)

"The fact that Superman was in a wheelchair and ready to go out in public with it was huge. If Chris were still here, Robin (Williams) would be here too, that's for sure. (Friend Glenn Close describes the two components of Reeve's influence.)

Where were you when you heard that Christopher Reeve had been fallen from a horse and seriously injured? Well, it's a little different to JFK's world, but I remember where I was.

The cast of the feature film Superman (1978) couldn't have been better. Classically trained, Christopher Reeve (CR) embodied razor-sharp power and beauty. An innocent horseback riding accident in May 1995 was the catalyst for Reeve's development into the real Superman. CR left us 20 years ago. This flawless production summarises the scope of his story and the impact his devoted family had not only on Chris but on the whole world. The film is about CR, but it stars his wife Dana, his sons Matthew and Will, and his daughter Alexandra. But especially his second wife Dana. If you want to see the film, go to Afdah info.
