Remember the beginning of the film Superman, when superman as a baby is on his homeplanet of Krypton wrapped in a blanket? This is the actual prop blanket used in the film on screen. It is a bright multicolored blanket with a strip of reflective material around the border which would &#8220;glow&#8221; when photographed. The blanket was used in the scenes with Marlon Brando and Susannah York (superman&#8217;s parents) on the planet Krypton where Superman was wrapped in the blanket, and it was also placed inside Superman&#8217;s spaceship which escaped the homeplanet before it was destroyed. I have attached a movie still showing the blanket on screen during this scene. The first SUPERMAN film is the best of the Superman films, and starred the legendary late Christopher Reeve as Superman, along with Margot Kidder, and Gene Hackman. This is a rare opportunity to own an a screen used item from one of the most respected classic superhero films of all time.<\/p>\n<p>According to behind the scenes documentaries and books about the Making of Superman, the actors would either wear a reflective material or be covered in strips of grey reflective tape which would glow when photographed. This rare blanket has reflective grey border which still glows as you can see in the pictures. I have read that several blankets were made for production (experimental versions with different colors, backup blankets, etc.). However, it is believed that this blanket is the actual screen used blanket, based on comparisons with the colors of the screen used version, the material, the label, etc). The blanket also retains its original attached Bermans and Nathans wardrobe tag which states that it was used in Superman by Susannah York and has a number written &#8220;12018.&#8221; Please see picture for closeup of label. I spoke to an individual in the film industry this last year who owns several of the original screen used costumes and props from the Superman films and who has worked directly with costume designer Yvone Blake, who had worked on the first Superman film. After seeing the pictures of the blanket including the label, he concluded that it is genuine. He also sent pictures to Yvonne Blake who currently resides in Spain. She also concluded that the blanket appears genuine.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen other superman blankets for sale over the years on ebay and at auction. Most of them appear to be either backup blankets, experimental production made versions or outright frauds! I purchased this rare blanket from a reputable collector this last year, and he in turn had purchased the blanket from another well known and respected collector who has been collecting a variety of props and wardrobe for many years. The original ower had purchased it from the estate of the producer of the Superman films who had kept this blanket among other items in their own personal collection since the films were made. These two collectors have signed their own letters of authenticity stating the blanket is genuine and a screen used prop from the Superman. Due to privacy concerns, the names of these individuals will only be released to the winning bidder of the auction. Rest assured, the sources who owned this superman blanket and signed the letters of authenticity are very well respected collectors who stongly support the blanket&#8217;s authenticity. I too believe this to be a genuine screen used prop and if interested, I can add my own signed letter of authenticity to the group. This blanket was part of a collection of original Superman wardrobe that is currently being sold at Heritage auction house online, including the original robe screen worn by Marlon Brando in the first Superman film as well as one of Clark Kent&#8217;s suits from Superman II. It is a rare and wonderful piece of cinematic history. It is instantly recognizable and very iconic. I consider it to be one of the best props to acquire from the Superman films. I have decided to list it on ebay with no reserve price, and a low starting bid. Serious bidders only please! I am open to serious offers and once the items sells it will not be relisted. So be prepared to bid!<\/p>\n<p>This would make the perfect gift for the collector who has everything, and also a very wise investment which will assuredly appreciate in value (much safer than the stock market)!<\/p>\n<p>Please bid with confidence. I have been a reputable collector for nearly 20 years and a well respected member of the United Movie Collectors Guild (UMCG).
