About Dead Man's Eyes
Artist David Stuart is blinded by a jealous model whose portrait he is painting. His fiance's father generously offers his eyes for a sight restoring operation. There's only one hitch: Stuart has to wait until after the man dies. Not surprisingly, when the benefactor dies a very premature death, suspicion falls on the artist.
Directed by Reginald Le Borg, Dead Man's Eyes leans on a strong ensemble — Lon Chaney Jr., Jean Parker, Paul Kelly — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1944.
