Eyes in the Night (1942)

Nice Suspenseful Mystery-Thriller


First of all, forget all about The Donna Reed Show - this movie shows us Donna Reed the actress not the TV mom we've come to know her by. She plays a good role as Barbra here!

Secondly, this is a good suspenseful mystery-thriller. It sounds strange by the description of the film: A blind detective & his dog who help a woman, Norma Lawry, with a murder case. Norma has a step-daughter, Barbra, that has her mind poisoned against her by her former lover, Paul Gerente. But Paul ends up dead, Barbra blames Norma for murdering him and Norma seeks the help of a friend the blind detective Duncan 'Mac' Maclain. Sure the description sounds odd but you'll just have to watch it to see how it plays out - then it'll all fall into place.

Third, I like the film and I recommend it to those that like the older mystery-thrillers speckled with comedy.

8/10
