Directed by George Marshall ( Destry Rides Again) in Technicolor goodness, the 1953 film is a light-hearted telling of Houdini’s life without feeling a need for complete historical accuracy. Husband and wife Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, one of classic Hollywood’s most iconic marriages, teamed up to play Harry and Bess Houdini in this charming biopic of the legendary illusionist and escape artist.
