Sunday Night Trivia: Look At That!

This movie is a about a guy who hides in plain sight. The actor that gets first billing on the title sequence in this movie was on the screen for ten minutes and received 4 million dollars for the roll. What is the movie? Who is the guy in the helmet? What are they looking at? Who was the first billed actor in this movie? Be Careful, the answers may NOT be the obvious ones.

The guy in the helmet is Larry Hagman, playing the Major in the movie "Superman."

You would think that the people are looking up in the sky at a bird, or a plane, or, I don't know, Superman maybe? But that would probably be the obvious answer.

Anonymous Ken was quick on the trigger. Yes, the movie is Superman and that is indeed Larry Hagman.

Two questions to go.

I believe that Marlon Brando was the first billed actor.

Marlon Brando played Jor-El, Superman/Clark Kent's real father.

One question to go.

It's been awhile since I've seen Superman, but did Lois Lane get knocked off the top of a building by a helicopter or something? So are they watching her fall?

Total guess here.

Yes, and No. This was when the helicopter was hanging off the building but it was just before Lois Lane started to fall. The reason that it wasn't the "obvious choice" is that this picture was taken BEFORE Superman revealed himself, so none of these people know he exists yet. As Lois Lane falls , he zooms up and catches her.
