Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Man from Beyond (1922)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The Man from Beyond was in some ways Harry Houdini's attempt to reconcile with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, his erstwhile friend, after the two fell out over a seance in which the "spirit" of Houdini's mother, who had only spoken German while alive, communicated with her son in English.
SPOILER
The Man from Beyond ends with the words "You must believe" and the spirit of the 1820 Felice entering the body of the 1922 Felice, a replication of the cover of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1918 spiritual treatise, The New Revelation.- The film's press book claimed that Houdini's "supervision" usurped Burton King's directing, though the article reports little evidence for that; Houdini, as was his habit, performed all of his own stunts.
