On May 18, 1953, Paramount held nationwide exhibitor trade screenings for their new biopic HOUDINI. The movie featured newlyweds Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, and their real-life relationship would featured heavily in promotion. The movie premiered at the Des Moines Theater in Iowa on June 25, 1953. In my opinion, it's still the best Houdini biopic and a great movie about magic.
