Eye of the Devil

Eye of the Devil is a 1966 British crimehorror film with occult and supernatural themes directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Deborah Kerr and David Niven. The film is set in rural France and was filmed at the Chteau de Hautefort and in England. Eye of the Devil is based on the novel Day of the Arrow by Robin Estridge and was initially titled Thirteen.

Eye of the Devil was filmed in 1965 with Kim Novak initially cast as the wife, but in November 1965, and with only two weeks of shooting to be completed, Novak injured her back in a riding incident. While doing an important scene on location in France, she was thrown from a horse. Unable to complete the picture, she was replaced by Deborah Kerr. As a result, many scenes had to be reshot, with Novak seen only in some long shots. However, David Hemmings recalls in his autobiography that he witnessed a bitter argument between Kim Novak and Martin Ransohoff near the end of filming led Kim Novak to be sacked and the film to be reshot with Deborah Kerr.The film went through several directors, including Michael Anderson, the first director, Sidney J. Furie, and Arthur Hiller, before J. Lee Thompson was brought in to complete the film. Terry Southern was brought in to do an uncredited tighting and brightning of the screenplay. ........
