Houdini
The movie is about the life of the magician and escapologist Harry Houdini, and his spectacular but tragically short career presented from his beginnings with a carnival 'wild man' act to his emergence as an internationally-acclaimed illusionist.

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.July 25, 2003
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.March 23, 2008
Colorful, but full of falsehoods, story of Houdini. Curtis is pretty good.February 12, 2004

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