We alternately follow the story from two sides; that of Superman TV star George Reeves, who is carrying on a not so secret affair with Toni Mannix, the wife of a powerful, ill-tempered MGM executive; and that of private dick Simo (the ritual noirish fall guy), who is later hired to investigate Reeves' supposed suicide. Simo found few Hollywood insiders ready to cooperate and his digging discovered plenty to suggest that the actor did not take his own life. Hollywood Land is a dark murder mystery gloriously set and lit and inspired by one of Hollywood's most infamous real-life mysteries.
