I've finally finished my article on the making of the 1976 ABC TV movie The Great Houdinis. I'll post it on Saturday. It will reveal all the locations and exactly where every scene was shot. I also have some interesting info on cut scenes, a rival film, and then there's the Star Wars connection...
So make sure you check out Wild About Harry this weekend as I uncover the secrets of The Great Houdinis.
