In 1920, Houdini shot footage on the streets of Paris for a film he was planning about counterfeiting. Some of that footage appeared in
Haldane of the Secret Service (1923), but a lot never made the cut. Now you can watch nearly 4 minutes of that unused footage on my Patreon.
This is not an exclusive. You can find and view this at
Historic Films. But I make things like this easy for patrons!

Interesting that he made his bones in Europe but never returned after 1920. I wonder if his falling out with Doyle put him off returning to Britain.
ReplyDeleteThere's evidence he was going to return in 1927.
DeleteBut then… he never did. 🥺😭 - Abby Martin
DeleteAs Bess noted after his death: He went on tour forever.
DeleteI’m just gonna say… he is rocking that outfit in the footage! 🥺❤️ Abby Martin
