Haven't thought about that in a long time... I actually have a friend who lives in Ealing right near the studio. Wonder if they have an archive? Maybe next time I'm in England, I'll try and arrange a visit -- get the bottom that.John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-69123009134114086952010-11-21T21:10:40.436-08:002010-11-21T21:10:40.436-08:00The clip of the father's deathbed scene does l...The clip of the father's deathbed scene does look like a modern reimagining of a silent film, but the credits for "Houdini The Life of the World's Greatest Escapologist" mention a 1928 bio-pic "The Great Houdini" by Ealing Film Studios. The credits also give a copyright date of 1993 for that reference, so I don't know what to think.Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-4334136114194891892010-11-21T14:13:48.788-08:002010-11-21T14:13:48.788-08:00Hey Bill.

That clip has always baffled me. I'm not sure it's an actual film. It might have been created just for that doc.<br /><br />What I have isn't a movie that was ever made. It's an "attempt" at a biopic,John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-67969472740094320162010-11-21T13:06:22.473-08:002010-11-21T13:06:22.473-08:00Is this a silent movie from England?Is this a silent movie from England?Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-25539392470712586972010-11-21T12:45:06.013-08:002010-11-21T12:45:06.013-08:00I can't wait John!
