From Australian filmmaker, Gillian Armstrong (Charlotte Gray, Mrs. Soffel) … I’d almost forgot the biopic about Harry Houdini, starring Guy Pearce, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Saoirse Ronan (Atonement). Pearce’s portrayal didn’t cast a spell on some Houdini purists after it premiered at Toronto’s Film Festival last year.  ‘Death Defying Acts‘ opens this week in limited release in New York and LA – hope it makes its way to St. Louis.
