This is one if my favorite old Tony Curtis movies. It's a lighthearted look into the life of Houdini. Not derp and dark as so many newer movies are.

when i was young i watched this movie and enjoyed it but after watching again all these years later i was disappointed. not as good as i remembered. kind of boring actually. there was a more recent movie on houdini's life that was much more detailed and much,much better.

This is one of my favorite Tony Curtis movies for several reasons. First we have all ....Janet Leigh plays opposite him in the wonderful narrative of Houdini and since they were a real life couple it is special watching the courtship in this story. Secondly both appear to be very young and in their prime and thus at their best physically. I am a fan of TCM and have only seen this aired once...and was very glad to find this wonderful copy in dvd on Amazon.
One can imagine Jamie Lee Curtis watching this movie along side you as the story of Harry Houdini comes alive and memories of Tony Curtis and his then Wife (who was yet to do Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho) in their youth either return, or are brought to light. A credible account of Harry Houdini's life without the morbid ending one would expect knowing about Houdini's last death defying act!
