Glaser gives us the most likable Houdini since Tony Curtis. At the time Glaser was a major TV star from Starsky & Hutch and a ‘70s sex symbol. The Great Houdinis stars Paul Michael Glaser as Houdini. Not only does it have an amazing cast, but what at the time seemed to be steamy confection of fictionalization has over the years turned out to be fact - such as Houdini’s affair with Daisy White and Bessie’s alcoholism. For my money, the best Houdini biopic is the 1976 made for TV movie, The Great Houdinis.
