Summary: Houdini ala Hollywood
Comment: A flawed, but entertaining film that served as a vehicle for the young romantic couple of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Not an accurate account of Harry Houdini's life, but still fun to watch in places.
Curtis was young and handsome and Janet Leigh attractive, but weak on acting.
Customer Rating:
Summary: TONY'S BEST
Comment: FOR ME I THINK THIS IS TONY CURTIS BEST FILM.
THE GREAT HOUDINI IS BY FAR THE BEST TOLD STORY I'VE SEEN.
UPDATED MOVIES OF THE GREAT HOUDINI JUST DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CHEMISTRY
THEY CAN NEVER GET THE TIME PERIOD RIGHT OR THE LOOK AND FEEL OF IT LIKE THIS MOVE DID.
IF YOU LIKE CLASSIC MOVIE THEN THIS IS ONE FOR YOUR COLLECTION, CHEERS!.

Summary: Tony Curtis a perfect Houdini
Comment: This movie brought back so many memories from years ago when this was a new movie. I was raised in Appleton WISC. as was Harry Houdini, his memoirs and artifacts are in the Harry Houdidn Museum, which was the Masonic Temple when I was growing up. Corner of Drew and College Ave.
The spark of love between Harry and Bess was very much captured in real life by the actors who brought us Jamie Lee Curtis. I am so glad I finally have this movie as my own. Laurie Baer

Summary: YabaDabaDVD
Comment: Okay, the reviews say this is not an accurate depiction of his life, I am not an expert on Houdini so I cannot agree or disagree to that point but I like this movie, it's entertaining and I will watch it every so often so a wave of my magic wand and make those bad critics disappear.

Summary: Finally, it came out on dvd!
Comment: I have absolutely loved this movie since I was a little girl. It is one of the most entertaining biographical movies ever. Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh are sizzling in their roles as Harry and Bess. A must have for vintage movie collectors.

Editorial Reviews:

Tony Curtis gives a winning performance as the great Houdini, the struggling circus performer who emerged as the world's most captivating magician and escape artist. From his beginnings as a "wild man" carnival act to the internationally famous feat of escaping from a locked trunk in an ice-jammed river, Houdini effectively captures the amazing life and courage of this fascinating man. Also stars the beautiful Janet Leigh as Houdini's supportive wife who lovingly stood by his side throughout his legendary career.
