Event Date(s): 08/15/2006 | Description: Gene Shalit reviews"The Illusionist," a new movie co-starring Paul Giamatti, Jessica Biel and Edward Norton co-star set in Vienna in 1900. It spins a tale of love and intrigue around a performing magician who captivates the city with his on-stage divertissements. Shalit calls it"wonderfully different,""a beauty" and"a mental dazzler". Gene gives high praise to Giamatti, Norton and Neil Burger, who, Gene tells us,"by his splendid writing and direction, has himself made magic". Shalit at the end of the review disappears with the help of electronic editing. CLIPS FROM"THE ILLUSIONIST" Clips in letterbox format interspersed throughout review
