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.
Movie Review: Houdini ala Hollywood
Summary: 3 Stars
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.

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.Movie Review: Reviewing Houdini
Summary: 3 Stars
The quality of the DVD was excellent. The film was entertaining and watchable but not much else. Hollywood biographies are not the most accurate.
