Saturday, May 25 - Eyes in the Night & The Devil's Assistant

Eyes in the Night (1942)

Aided by his trusty guide dog, blind investigator Duncan MacLain (Edward Arnold) takes on a case brought to him by old acquaintance Norma Lawry (Ann Harding). One of Norma's past lovers, veteran actor Paul Gerente (John Emery), has become involved with her much younger stepdaughter, Barbara (Donna Reed), and this situation gets more dramatic when the thespian is found dead. Soon the investigation extends beyond the Lawry ladies to include a sinister Nazi scheme.

The Devil's Assistant (1917)

Margarita Fischer marries Jack Mower. Her rejected suitor, Monroe Salisbury smiles devilishly and grows horns briefly, to show he is now evil. He grows a Mephistophelean beard and begins to drug his patients. Eventually, these include Miss Fischer, whom he eventually has within his power. When they run off together in a storm, he attempts to rape her.
