Reminded me a little of George Reeves here. There's a physical similarity. That lock of hair on his forehead made him look a bu=it like Superman. The combination of toughness but a mild manner also stuck me. If they'd remade this with Reeves a generation later, the performances would have seemed similar, I think.

Just saw this for the first time on TCM. Very true what you say! In addition to the physical, both have a slight element of unreality in their acting styles.
