Houdini became a perennial on TV, airing multiple times every year, carrying the touch and igniting interest in many new fans, included me. NBC would repeat the movie several times throughout the year. Houdini first aired on television on January 30, 1965, as NBC's "Saturday Night Movie." Maybe owing to the fact that the movie was in color and featured stars who were even more famous in 1965 than they were when the movie was made, the broadcast received a lot of attention. (I've found showings as late as 1957.) But Houdini may have enjoyed even greater success, and had its greatest impact, on television.
The movie was a popular success and played in theaters and drive-in's for years.
Yesterday marked the 65th anniversary of the release of Paramount's Houdini to movie theaters in 1953.
