I started the year off, sharing the 1953 pressbook from the Tony Curtis Houdini movie. Thought I would continue sharing other related Houdini related movie items throughout the year, like: Posters, Lobby cards, stills, magazine covers/advertisements and programs from around the world.

Today I share (the original workbook photo in my collection) of the American 11×14 Set of Lobby Cards:

1. Publicity shot of Curtis and Leigh
2. Houdini being placed in a canvas bag, standing inside the Sub Trunk
3. Front cover of the Pressbook
4. Houdini being lowered into the Chinese Water Torture Chamber
5. The packing crate being lowered into the cut hole of the iced over river
6. Houdini in his cell, trying to pick the door lock with his feet
7. A close up of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh
8. Houdini’s legs being shackled, just before being placed in the packing crate
9. Back stage after Houdini’s stooge just got him challenged to escape from Scotland Yards jail

BTW, I have original pressbook and originals of all of these Lobby cards with one signed by Janet Leigh.
