I thought he was close the Falls fighting the rapids before finding out later on here that he shot those scenes at another location.Leo Heviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990057178465581105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-85073304468332541452022-04-03T10:14:11.064-07:002022-04-03T10:14:11.064-07:00I enjoyed my 100th anniversary screening last nigh...I enjoyed my 100th anniversary screening last night. Started right at 8:30pm as the ad says. Such an odd and unique Houdini movie. Painfully antiquated when compared to his Hollywood films. But it's the film that's most personal and reflects his creative unconscious. That makes it fascinating. I always forget that the last word of the movie is "believe."John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-9441970113261944212022-04-03T08:50:57.249-07:002022-04-03T08:50:57.249-07:00All of the hype, promotion, product tie ins, eleph...All of the hype, promotion, product tie ins, elephants, and magic entertainment can't save a movie that's at best just okay. It's going to have to deliver the goods: A great story, great acting, a great script, and great cinematography.Leo Heviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990057178465581105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-63378544295448267882022-04-02T08:33:41.409-07:002022-04-02T08:33:41.409-07:00Thanks for sharing.

Besides the subtle mention that he makes the heroine {Jane Connolly] disappear in person, it also hints that “cavilers might raise the question whether this is actually Niagara”. Love the idea of watching it tonight to celebrate the anniversary.Joe M. Notarohttp://harryhoudinicircumstantialevidence.comnoreply@blogger.com
