Houdini wrote, produced and starred in two of his feature films; he wrote a number of treatments – plots for potential productions; and he self-published several of these treatments. *

This post continues a series of posts where I summarize (or share tidbits about) the film treatments he wrote:

• The Marvelous Adventures of Houdini (1917)*
• The Man From Beyond (1921)
• Haldane of the Secret Service or Mysterious Mr. Yu (1921)*
• FRIZZO––MASTER MAGICIAN (1921)
• Yar, the Primeval Man (1921)*
• Il Mistero di Osiris or The Mystery of the Jewel (1921)*
• The Great Tontine (unpublished)* [Tom Boldt Collection (TBC)]
• The Monster (unpublished)* [TBC]
• The Vulture (unpublished)* [TBC]
• Floating Through Space (unpublished)* [TBC]
• Blood Brothers (unpublished) [TBC]
• Out of the Shadows (unpublished) [HHCE Collection]

* “Film Treatment” can be found in Patrick Culliton’s book, Houdini’s Strange Tales – A Collection of fiction by the legendary Harry Houdini [1992]

Note: Frizzo real name was Enrico Longone, not Langone.  Frizzo was taught magic by Compars Hermann. And Frizzo taught magic to Antonio Molini.
