Night Has a Thousand Eyes has a sensitivity that many films of its genre lack. Highly recommended for classic film collections and film noir library programming. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
A compelling enough supernatural thriller and a kind of forerunner to M. Night Shayamalan. (Kino Lorber Studio Classics blu-ray review). Go to Full Review
Nell Dodson Russell Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder 12/15/2021
[Night Has a Thousand Eyes] gets off to a good start but bogs down midway and flops completely before the finale. Another piece of corn like this and Edward G. Robinson will be doing quickies for his paycheck. Go to Full Review

Unfortunately, director John Farrow stripped most of the dark obsessions that fueled the excellent novel and instead made it into a conventional cinema thriller. Go to Full Review

Andy F Jun 8 A thoroughly entertaining film noir with added spice as our hero (Robinson) accidentally discovers he has the gift of second sight. See more Will G May 20 A great noir film. An excellent movie from the classic Hollywood era. The acting was good. It was about a mind reader who can see the future. There were also detectives. See more Insomniac X Apr 25 Noir thriller keeps audiences guessing, but its effectiveness depends largely on individual viewer's feelings on the supernatural. Foreshadows moments in "Deep Red" and "The Dead Zone." See more 10/24/2015 i always enjoyed this movie See more 06/25/2015 Beer may have helped but I really enjoyed this supernatural film noir from director John Farrow. Edward G. Robinson stars as Triton, a phony psychic answering questions posed by members of the audience (aided by his erstwhile assistants), who starts to have real visions of the future. Although he manages to warn people about (but ultimately not prevent) a few tragedies and help his friends win big at the races, Robinson's visions alarm him and lead him to despair and the life of a recluse. Only later, when he foresees the death of his former partner and then the subsequent murder of that man's daughter, does he emerge from hiding. The film then plays out according to his visions, despite police detective William Demarest's disbelief. Creepy and weird and noir, just the way I like 'em (although I'll admit that some of the supporting actors could be stronger).
