For the first time in at least five years, I traveled to Manhattan to see a movie since Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story was not playing at any local theater. It was a documentary tracing Christopher's career emphasizing his role in the Superman movies. The focal points were his treatments after his tragic accident and his relationships with his family who were supportive of him. Many were interviewed for this documentary. He fought back after the accident and served as a role model for those suffering from similar injuries.
The film is quite sad when it shows Christopher in poor physical condition. The saddest part was at the end when he and his wife Dana passed away.
I have always been a fan of Superman since the George Reeves TV series of the 1950s. I certainly enjoyed the films where Christopher starred as The Man of Steel in the 1970s and 1980s
