Movie Info

Legendary escape artist Harry Houdini both produced and starred in The Man From Beyond. Houdini plays a man who has been frozen in an Arctic block of ice for 100 years. Once he's thawed out, Houdini tries to straighten out the lives of the descendants of his old friends and lost loves. The sequence everyone remembers from Man From Beyond involves Houdini's near-plunge over Niagara Falls, which has been excerpted in several silent-film pastiches, notably 1961's Days of Thrills and Laughter.

It was interesting only because the great escape artist Houdini was the star.

This was my favourite of the Houdini movies. Although towards the end it feels longer than it really was for some reason. The movie isn't just about him escaping from some captors in every scene as in his other movies. There's a really good story in this one, it's more fantastic and romantic, and there's suspense

The Man from Beyond (1922) This is one of the few surviving Harry Houdini films left. Overall it's pretty standard but it was worth a watch. Houdini has a few stunts in this film but nothing awe-inspiring. I'd say this is worth a watch but it's far from a classic.
