Hollywoodland movie

A detective examines the mysterious death of George Reeves, TV's Superman.

Hollywoodland is a 2006 biopic/docudrama directed by TV alum Allen Coulter (his feature directorial debut) about a down-on-his-luck detective, Louis Simo (Adrien Brody), investigating the suspicious suicide of actor George Reeves (Ben Affleck), the star of televisions Superman. Toni Mannix (Diane Lane), the wife of MGM studio executive Eddie Mannix (Bob Hoskins), had been in a long romantic relationship with Reeves, who had ended the affair and had become engaged to a younger woman, an aspiring actress Leonore Lemmon (Robin Tunney).PlotGeorge Reeves has a long, successful career from the late 1930s, starting with a small role in Gone with the Wind and ending soon after Adventures of Superman. Despite his fame, he is discontent with being typecast as Superman and cannot find major roles. Reeves is also having drinking problems and has engaged in an affair with Toni Mannix, the wife of MGM VP Eddie Mannix.When Reeves is found dead from a gunshot wound to the head in the early morning hours of June 16, 1959, the police rule it a simple suicide, but Reeves mother becomes suspicious and hires private detective Louis Simo to find out what has really happened.

As Simo learns Reeves life story and tracks down details of the case, he finds that the evidence is much more ambiguous than most of the police are willing to admit.The film presents several possible scenarios for Reeves death, but it does not introduce any new theories, resolve the murder, or point to any particular theory as being "right.".
