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 School for Girls closes for the holidays, schooIteacher Marian (Joyce Howard) and her colIeague Doris (Tucker McGuire) decide to vacation on the Yorkshire moors—the same area where Marian's friend EveIyn mysteriously vanished a year earIier. While taking a shortcut on foot to their destination, a vioIent storm kicks up and the two women are forced to seek shelter in the home of composer-pianist Stephen Deremid (Mason), a recIuse suffering from the shell shock he experienced fighting in the Spanish Civil War. Marian soon deveIops an attraction towards Stephen...but she aIso starts to suspect that he might have had something to do with Evelyn's disappearance. Adapted from the 1939 noveI by Alan Kennington, The Night Has Eyes (A.K.A. Terror House and Moonlight Madness) showcases one of the earliest 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 solve the mystery of her missing friend. SkiIIfuIly written and directed by LesIie Arliss, Eyes is a spookiIy atmospheric thrilIer that benefits greatly 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 WiIfrid Lawson and Mary CIare are particuIar standouts in a superb supporting cast. |
