RKO 589

Hey gang,

I've held off flogging my new Houdini blog over here until I felt I had something worthy to share. Today I think I have just that.

Recently I had the extreme pleasure of traveling to the Warner Bros. Corporate Archive to examine the long forgotten file on what could very well be Hollywood's first attempt to make a movie based on the life of Harry Houdini. It's certainly the earliest that I'm aware. What I found is pretty darn interesting (I think).

I've just posted Part I: "Paul Muni would make an ideal Houdini."

Have a look if you like.

Thanks!
