Night Has a Thousand Eyes 07/25/23

‘Fate’ is a frequent player in classic noir, but this spooky 1948 charmer crosses noir atmosphere with a semi-supernatural vibe — enforced by a top performance from Edward G. Robinson, plus the eerie presence of Gail Russell, She Who Possesses the Saddest Eyes in Hollywood. An showbiz mentalist suddenly experiences foreshadowings of deaths to come, a curse that threatens the ones he loves most. Cynical detective William Demarest is one of the first to suspect him. Do the stars hold our future?  A ‘thousand eyes’ look down on a small group of people trying to stave off doom foretold. With good extras from Glenn Kenny, Farran Smith Nehme, Tony Rayns and Jill Blake. On Region B Blu-ray from Powerhouse Indicator.
