Here's a nice video about my favorite Houdini biopic from the Trailers From Hell YouTube channel. A few details here I didn't know, such as George Pal initially wanting Marlon Brando to play Houdini? Wow. Anyway, enjoy.
Thanks to Diego Domingo for the alert.
You can write a book on these Hollywood casting, bullet dodging close calls. Mickey Rooney was initially considered for Carroll O' Connor's iconic role of Archie Bunker. James Caan in the 1978 Superman film before Christopher Reeves was chosen.
