Houdini
It is those events that speak of the life of magician Harry Houdini, and his amazing career, which was at some point controversial all over the world. The film presents a look around but his life, which has since its beginnings with a 'wild man' carnival acting and expresses an internationally famous deception everywhere, seems to be more unknown than that man.

O filme se preocupa mais em mostrar o relacionamento de Houdini com a esposa do que sua obsessão por escapadas. De todo modo, Curtis está muito bem e convence como mágico.

Colorful, but full of falsehoods, story of Houdini. Curtis is pretty good.

Accuracy, be darned; this is pure entertainment bio-pic with Tony Curtis at the height of his charismatic matinee idol period; plus working with wife Janet Leigh isn't bad either.

There's enough whimsy on display to make the film a pleasant charmer.

Standard issue star vehicle biopic.
