A man who dreams of seeing the future discovers the horrible burden that it can carry in this film noir suspense story. Suicidal Jean Courtland (Gail Russell) is prevented from killing herself by her fiancée Elliot Carson (John Lund). When they consult psychic John Triton (Edward G. Robinson), he confesses that he used his powers to bring on her death. Years ago, Triton was a phony mentalist in a vaudeville act, but he began seeing genuine visions of the future, most of which portended tragic results. After a premonition of the death of his wife Jenny (Virginia Bruce) in childbirth, a terrified Triton went into hiding for five years; upon his return, he discovered that his wife had married Whitney (Jerome Cowan) shortly after John was declared dead...and she died giving birth. Years later, Jenny's child grew up to be Jean Courtland, and when Triton receives a vision of Whitney's death in a plane wreck, he rushes to California in hopes of stopping fate. However, he's foreseen a tragic future for both Jean and Whitney and is afraid of the agony that awaits them. The Night Has a Thousand Eyes was adapted from a novel by Cornell Woolrich. |

This DVD of Night Has a Thousand Eyes is compared to the Blu-ray HERE An 'Essential Noir', Night has a Thousand Eyes, has finally made it to superior DVD - thank to Koch in Germany. The film has much of the dark conventions that devotees love about the cycle. It's dual-layered with a massively high bitrate for the SD format and progressive in the original 1.33:1 aspect ratio and looks very strong. There are only a few noticeable vertical scratches that hinder an otherwise quality presentation. It looks like it may have had a recent cleaning and grain and depth are both present. Top notch overall!
The mono sound is decent, audible dialogue, also supporting the wonderful Victor Young (The Sun Shines Bright, Johnny Guitar, China Gate etc.) score and there is an optional German DUB but are no subtitles offered. Supplements consist of a gallery of posters etc.. I have wanted to see this for a long while and now I can't wait to watch it again. It's a bit hokey, but the atmosphere reeks of 'dark cinema'. Great Koch SD coverage and we absolutely recommend to those keen. |
