I buy this TV Movie called "The Great Houdini" because Bill Bixby is in it, and he's a favorite of mine. So I put the DVD, and whose name is in the credits?? Vivian Vance. Very cool. She plays Houdini's wife's maid or something like that. The movie I think was made in 1976, so it must have been one of her last appearances.

Hey, where did you get that movie? I've been looking for a copy. Is is on DVD or VHS?

Does Sally Strothers play Bess? I thought she did but it's been a long time since I've seen that movie.

Thanks!

I got it on ebay from a guy in England. But the DVD is region 2...although the disc itself says region 1...confusing to say the least. I should put it in my mom's DVD player and see if it plays.

Anyway, yes, Sally Struthers is Bess.
