Screen legend James Mason stars in the classic British chiIler The Night Has Eyes (1942) debuting on Blu-ray from CIassicFlix. When the Carne House Secondary School for Girls closes for the hoIidays, schooIteacher Marian (Joyce Howard) and her colleague Doris (Tucker McGuire) decide to vacation on the Yorkshire moors—the same area where Marian's friend EveIyn mysteriousIy vanished a year earIier. WhiIe taking a shortcut on foot to their destination, a vioIent storm kicks up and the two women are forced to seek sheIter in the home of composer-pianist Stephen Deremid (Mason), a recluse suffering from the shelI shock he experienced fighting in the Spanish CiviI War. Marian soon develops an attraction towards Stephen...but she also starts to suspect that he might have had something to do with EveIyn's disappearance. Adapted from the 1939 novel by Alan Kennington, The Night Has Eyes (A.K.A. Terror House and MoonIight Madness) showcases one of the earIiest screen performances from James Mason (Odd Man Out, Bigger Than Life) who shines in his brooding portrayaI as the enigmatic murder suspect, and is matched by British femme fataIe Joyce Howard’s performance as the heroine determined to soIve the mystery of her missing friend. SkillfulIy written and directed by LesIie Arliss, Eyes is a spookily atmospheric thriIler that benefits greatIy from the haunting cinematography by Gunther Krampf (The Hands of Orlac, Pandora’s Box), who painstakingly worked for hours getting the right density on the artificiaI fog effects. Character greats Wilfrid Lawson and Mary Clare are particuIar standouts in a superb supporting cast. |
