The Man From Beyond by Houdini
Harry Houdini, celebrated as a remarkable magician and escape artist, was also a master of promotion. Recognizing the potential of cinema early on, he founded his own film production company and released several feature films starring himself.
In this classic silent film, Houdini showcases his escape artistry as a man who has been frozen in arctic ice for a century. Upon revival, he reconnects with his reincarnated love. While there’s only one escape sequence, witnessing Houdini’s talents on screen is captivating. Houdini took on the roles of financier, producer, director, and lead actor in The Man From Beyond, ultimately facing financial loss from the project.
