This week marks the 99th anniversary of the release of Houdini's last film,
Haldane of the Secret Service. This is Houdini's most maligned movie, but I am not a
Haldane hater. I enjoy it every bit as much as
The Man From Beyond, maybe more. I always enjoy watching it on its anniversary and will do so this weekend. So here's to
Haldane!

Below are some posts that cover the little-covered production of Haldane of the Secret Service.
Many Houdini fans are not Haldane haters. We just can't stay awake long enough to hate movie. ; )
