- TriviaAs part of the film's promotion, Houdini challenged any producer to film a "greater thrill than the Rescue Scene at the Brink of Niagara Falls," offering to pay $5,000 if they succeeded, as announced in the 20 Oct 1922 Variety.
- Quotes
Dr. Crawford Strange: Hillary clings tenaciously to his theory that he and Felice loved each other in a former life. Only a rank materialist like me would remain skeptical.
François Duval: Our personal beliefs are of no importance. The great teachers of the Earth, Zoroatser down to Moses and Christ, those who have made civilizaion possible, have taught the immortality and progression of the soul... Reincarnation!

Featured review
Man From Beyond, The (1922)
** (out of 4)
Early science fiction mixed with drama has a man (Harry Houdini) frozen in the Arctic for 100 years. When he's discovered, a scientist thraws him out and when he awakens he wants the love of his life back. This is a pretty boring film even with its short running time of 61-minutes. There's really not too much going on as a murder sideplot is pretty boring. An exciting ending and seeing Houdini do some of his famous stunts are the only reasons to watch this.
Now available through Kino with other Houdini shorts. This version is a lot better than the public domain release by Alpha.
