The Eye of the Beholder by Sarah Matts5/27/2023 ![]() I didn't notice that she is played by two actors. We don't have to know that the girl is dead to think of the image of her as a ghost. Also the making the lost daughter's ghost more solid is an interesting effect. The book's Eye is an old-fashioned gumshoe who simply looks though bedroom windows and the like. ![]() The major improvement over the book is the addition of the hi-tech snooping equipment. Actually Behm has 13 IMDB credits, and most of them are difficult to find. I can't think of any parallels with Marc Behm's Beatles film 'Help!'(1965). Like Marc Behm's script for 'Charade'(1963) it is about a spook who is looking after a young woman who doesn't really know what is going on. Like the director, Stephan Elliott's major film, 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert', 'Eye of the Beholder' is a road movie about eccentrics, one of whom is into wigs and changing her appearance. I would like to see the original film version, 'Mortelle randonnée'(1983) (it has a really good soundtrack album by Carla Bley), but so far have not found a video-rental shop that has a copy. ![]() I watched the film twice, read Marc Behm's book and then watched it again. Those naysayers should actually read the posted comments. Despite over 300 comments, some people are still posting saying that it was beyond them and what do the rest of us see in it. ![]()
