USA Today looks at "Hollywoodland," the new docu-drama about the death of TV's "Superman" George Reeves.

Hollywoodland delves into whether Reeves' affair with a studio exec's wife led to foul play. But the film probes deeper, exploring whether simple unhappiness led the hero to millions of children to take his own life.

"How did he manage to impact a generation of kids and still not be happy about it? It ate him up as opposed to satisfying him," says screenwriter Paul Bernbaum, who was a childhood fan of the show.

More Superman.
