- गूफ़When Dodie is suspended in air, wires holding her body up can clearly be seen near Desmond's head. This is an unfortunate side effect of modern film restoration; things that were unseen in the original 35mm prints now become visible because of the increased sharpness.

King of the Beatniks: [reading his poem at a nightclub] I have just written a poem... Confessions of a Movie Addict. Or, The Holy Barbarian Blues. - - "I was a teenaged movie monster. I cut my teeth on Clara Bow. I dug Rudolph Valentino. I was hooked on all the vampire movie queens. I rode with the posse, and cut 'em off at the pass. I was thrilled by The Thing from Outer Space. Man, I was a mess. And I was turned on by Shakespeare, Plato, Aristotle, Edgar Guest. I saw "Charley's Aunt" in the original, uncut version. Crazy, man, crazy. One day I wandered drunk, dazed, wild-eyed, into an art movie house - you know, loose smocks, with subtitles... Now I'm cool, man, cool. I've kicked the movie habit. I'm off to make the interstellar scene. Aloha, dosvedanya, au revoir, goodbye. Later, man, later."
- क्रेज़ी क्रेडिटRather than listing the character he plays, one actor is listed in the main credits as "FRED DEMARA (THE GREAT IMPOSTER)" to emphasize that he was the real life subject of the popular movie "The Great Impostor" (1960) that was released the same year.

As with other movies from the era, this originally came complete with a gimmick designed to lure people away from their TV sets and into the theatres. In this case, that would be "Hypno-Magic". Overall, the movie is pretty amusing, with the suave, handsome Bergerac doing a fine job of taking centre stage. The makeup effects are fairly good for the time this was made, and some of the methods of self mutilation are a hoot, even if we don't see all of them: flammable shampoo, lye cocktail, face pressed into fan blades, etc. One has to wonder if Herschell Gordon Lewis was somewhat inspired by this one when he made "The Wizard of Gore" 10 years later.
The cast keeps it watchable, particularly the striking Ms. Hayes, who does have a (not terribly surprising) twist in store for us right near the end. The filmmakers also get some credit for not over explaining things; for example, not giving us a back story for Desmond and Justine. The movie takes a brief detour into beatnik culture at the start of the second half, showcasing poet Lawrence Lipton and bongo drummer Eric Nord. Jimmy Lydon plays an emergency doctor, and in another doctor role the real life "Great Impostor" Fred Demara is cast.
"The Hypnotic Eye" is agreeable goof ball entertainment for people looking for a vintage "shocker".
