- Synopsis:
- The movie features the early career of Houdini, the relationship between his wife and mother, and his and his wife's attempts to reach "the other side", he attempting to contact his deceased mother, she attempting to contact Houdini himself after his death. Although the film portrays a strained relationship between Houdini's wife and mother, in reality they got along relatively well.

Arthur Ford.
