The Linguini Incident Collector's Edition Blu-ray

A Director's Cut of the 1991 film The Linguini Incident has been released on Blu-ray as a Collector's Edition with extras, including a feature-length documentary about the making of the film by Richard Schenkman (who I know from my James Bond life).

The Linguini Incident stars Rosanna Arquette as an aspiring magician and escape artist who collects Houdini artifacts and comes into possession of "Madame Houdini's" wedding ring. While waiting for her big break, she works as a waitress at a trendy Manhattan restaurant run by co-star David Bowie. The film is loaded with Houdini references and escapes. In some territories, it was titled Houdini & Company.
