    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Early in the picture, a very humble John Triton is shown climbing stairs to his tenement. In the background is clearly shown the Los Angeles funicular railway, Angels Flight, a feature of Bunker Hill in downtown from 1901, running between the close-spaced buildings from Hill to Olive St, south of the entrance to the 3rd St tunnel. The tenements were eventually to fall to re-development, as did Angels Flight, which after a hiatus of about 27 years, was restored to service nearby on the hill.
    • Goofs
      The flashback begins in 1928 but the women's clothes and hairstyles are of 1948.
    • Quotes

      John Triton aka 'The Mental Wizard': I'd become a sort of a reverse zombie. I was living in a world already dead, and I alone knowing it.

    Engrossing Drama
    "The Night has a Thousand Eyes" is a most engaging drama, with Edward G. Robinson giving his all to the role of a clairvoyant. A wonderful Robinson performance. Gail Russell is seen in one of her best film appearances. John Lund is well cast as Russell's doubting but supportive love interest.

    The atmosphere created here has an almost hypnotic effect. Robinson is completely into his role and totally convincing.

    That this film has not yet to date made it on video is incredible. Of all the lesser films that did so, this movie warrants attention. Paramount Pictures [us]--please take note.
