When the Man of steel ruled the Niagara sky

From the Niagara Falls Review:

As one of the most famous and most visited places in the world, it’s only natural that the motion picture industry has been drawn to Niagara Falls a number of times.

One of those times came in mid-September 1979 when some scenes for Superman II were filmed here, providing visitors with an added attraction that rivalled the falls for attention.

Following its release in 1978, the first Superman film had become a huge success, so the sequel was eagerly awaited by million of fans. Both movies starred Christopher Reeve, who played the superhero, and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane who, along with the “mild mannered” Clark Kent (a.k.a. Superman), worked as a reporter for the Daily Planet. Lane was madly in love with Superman.

Early in the film, Lane and Kent were sent to Niagara Falls to do an investigative report.
