Haldane turns 99

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!

The Times Herald, Dec. 14, 1923.

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. ; )

      I miss him. He was something. A walking encyclopedia of magic.
