See No Evil (1971): trivia & fun facts

Fun facts

• Interviewed in 1997, writer Brian Clemens recalled that he wrote the script "on spec" and Columbia Pictures told him: "'Well, if Mia Farrow plays the lead, we'll buy it,' and she read it and liked it, and so they bought it and we shot it."
• Fleischer had just made 10 Rillington Place (1971) for the same producers, Martin Ransohoff and Leslie Linder.
• Director Richard Fleischer said Clemens "gave us a good story, a very workable one for a director, if tough on the star."
• Farrow visited a hospital for the blind as part of her research, and used special contact lenses during the shoot to help convey blindness.
• For all the potency of a camera movement, it can never have exactly the power of a conceptual image, and therefore See No Evil is better with its mindless terror than with its witless meaning.
• Later reviewers have described the film as a "creepy, atmospheric thriller", in the style of Terence Young's 1967 film Wait Until Dark, while critic John Derry highlights the way Mia Farrow is presented "from the first moment" as "the obvious victim".
