Movie Reviews of Houdini

Movie Review: One of my favorites, but.......
Summary: 3 Stars

I remember this great movie from my childhood. Seeing it in Black & White on TV around 1964 or so. I loved it.

Seeing it on DVD is a bit of a disappointment because the 3 Strip Technicolor has not been restored. Like all of these old Technicolor treasures they have various problems all having to do with the registration problems of the 3 strips. At various times Tony Curtis has green lines under his eyes, back gounds become blurry.

It looks like films like Gone with the Wind and Wizard of OZ did before they had there restorations. Somehow they need to figure out a way make it affordable to bring a classic like this back to the kind of spendor that it deserves.
