[Starring] Norman Wisdom
with June Laverick, Jerry Desmonde, Hattie Jacques, Richard Wattis
The sixth and last in this season of films starring the little man with a talent for getting big laughs.

Norman's attempts to become a pop singer provide a succession of comic situations in Follow a Star. He is brilliantly partnered by the late Jerry Desmonde as a fading singing star who exploits Norman's talent to his own ends.

Harry Houdini, the greatest escapologist of all time: the man nothing could hold.
He escaped from handcuffs, straitjackets, sealed packing - cases, riveted steel boilers, thief-proof safes, milk churns filled with water, maximum security jails and even the sewn-up belly of a dead whale; but always the vacated prison was found to be still locked and intact!

His exploits made this once penniless son of a Hungarian Rabbi a millionaire, and his name has entered the language and the dictionaries of the world. He became a legend, occult powers were attributed to him and Hollywood's film version of his life simply added to the confusion between truth and myth.

Tonight, with four Americans who have spent their lives studying the escapologist, we present the real-life, extraordinary Harry Houdini, 1874-1926.
A co-production with Patria Pictures Ltd
