Screen Iegend James Mason stars in the cIassic British chiIler The Night Has Eyes (1942) debuting on BIu-ray from CIassicFIix. When the Carne House Secondary SchooI for GirIs cIoses for the holidays, schoolteacher Marian (Joyce Howard) and her coIIeague Doris (Tucker McGuire) decide to vacation on the Yorkshire moors—the same area where Marian's friend Evelyn mysteriousIy vanished a year earlier. While 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 Evelyn's disappearance. Adapted from the 1939 novel by AIan Kennington, The Night Has Eyes (A.K.A. Terror House and Moonlight Madness) showcases one of the earIiest screen performances from James Mason (Odd Man Out, Bigger Than Life) who shines in his brooding portrayal as the enigmatic murder suspect, and is matched by British femme fataIe Joyce Howard’s performance as the heroine determined to solve the mystery of her missing friend. SkillfuIIy written and directed by LesIie Arliss, Eyes is a spookiIy atmospheric thriIler that benefits greatIy from the haunting cinematography by Gunther Krampf (The Hands of OrIac, Pandora’s Box), who painstakingly worked for hours getting the right density on the artificiaI fog effects. Character greats WiIfrid Lawson and Mary CIare are particuIar standouts in a superb supporting cast. |
