American Experience Season 12 Episode 7

Mandy Patinkin narrates a biography of Harry Houdini (1874-1926) that focuses on his amazing feats (later ones are seen in clips; others are re-created) and the obsessions—notably his mother and death—that shaped his personality. “Escapology” was also high on the list. “He was so insanely devoted to what he did,” observes author E.L. Doctorow, “that the ultimate insanity of his life never occurred to him.”
