In their heyday, the Hilton Sisters were Vaudeville superstars who earned a weekly salary that was as high as Houdini's. This documentary tells their strange and somewhat tragic story.
You can watch Bound By Flesh on Netflix or buy the DVD from Amazon. For more information visit the official website.
Thanks to Steve Bingen for the alert. Check out Steve's new book, Warner Bros: Hollywood's Ultimate Backlot.
My uncle, Wally Ford, who knew Houdini pretty well and was supposed to play him in a play called "the Fox," has the first dialogue (from "Freaks") in the trailer.
ReplyDeletePatrick, your uncle was Wallace Ford? How odd-interesting is that! John, Thank you for the kind plug for my book, which I'm actually rather cleverly plugging again right now.
