Ex-spouses Ruddy and Peggy are in love with each other all over again, much to the chagrin of the soon-to-be-wife's parents, who try to thwart the reunion by hiring a detective to help get dirt on the husband (or, technically, ex-husband).

Harry Houdini (1874-1926), the renowned magician and escape artist, was one of the 20th century's most famous performers.

The Jewish Museum is presenting the first major art museum exhibition to examine Houdini's life, legend, and enduring cultural influence from October 29, 2010 through March 27, 2011. Through 163 objects, including 26 recent works of art, exhibition visitors will explore the career and legacy of the celebrated entertainer while considering his lasting impact on contemporary art and culture.
