We're all excited to watch Houdini starring in The Grim Game Sunday night on TCM. We plan to write a review for publication later in the week. So in the meantime have fun with this - a look at old New York through Harry's eyes. This is the oldest surviving film footage of New York City as it was in Houdini's day. Many of his haunts are here, including the Hippodrome Theater. [Video via Yestervid on YouTube.]
That was fantastic David! Thank you! It almost felt like a quick ride in H.G. Wells time machine. I liked the shot of the lady walking over a subway grate and the air pressure blows her long dress up to her knees. You can see her laughing. May she R.I.P.
