I first saw "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes" at the annual fWashington, D.C. film noir festival in 2015. This film is difficult to find and I am glad it is available here on Internet Archive where I was able to watch it again and where it will be available to others. Although "The Night has a Thousand Eyes" benefits from being seen in a beautiful old-style theater on a large screen, it also may be enjoyed in the privacy of one's home. The film is based on a novel of the same name by Cornell Woolrich (1903 -- 1968) whose works form the basis of many noir movies. The film tells the story of a…
★★★★★ · An actor par excellence. · The Spanman · 2022-07-16
I’m always amazed at how Edward Goldberg Robinson seemed to be able to assume the identity of the person he was portraying. Edward’s face alone, was cut from the era of silent films. His expressions were superb. When his voice is added, you have a complete image of his character. Little body language is required aside from a “thinker’s pose” with the chin resting upon his hand. Gail Russel had the most expressive eyes I’ve ever seen. Only Anne Sheridan had that penetrating glare. Yes, it’s all in the eyes, except when Mr. Robinson directs all attention his way.
★★★★ · Older & Better, Edward G. Robinson · venusmoon · 2023-05-23
I haven't watched many younger Edward G. Robinson (gangster) movies. However, I am familiar with that more popular EGR. Still, I've better appreciated his older movies (as a mature man). For me his performances are more defined, more interesting, more than a pigeon hole. Moreover, I would say this was a stretch for hollywood back in the day with a more serious look at "other wordly" possibilities. No this is not the One Step Beyond nor Twilight Zone. Yet, I was caught up in the drama - the storyline of the supernatural (the occult here) on the big screen of the day- with Edward G. Robinson. A…

I saw the first half of this on WTTO's afternoon matinee, about forty five years ago, Now I watched the entire film, in a different Century...and it's held up quite well. Glad to finally see the ending.
★★★ · Night Has A Thousand Eyes · noir addict · 2021-09-27
Any movie with Edward G. Robinson in is always a good movie. He is such a scene stealer in every movie he is in. Amazing talent that never won an Oscar. A total Hollywood crime.
★ · Good but not NOIR!!! · George Lewis590 · 2025-11-22
Not everything shot in the 1940s was NOIR you know.
