    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The title comes from a well-known poem by FW Bourdillon (1852-1921), "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes": "The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun.

      The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one: Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done."
    • Goofs
      The flashback begins in 1928 but the women's clothes and hairstyles are of 1948.
    • Quotes
      • John Triton aka 'The Mental Wizard': I'd become a sort of a reverse zombie. I was living in a world already dead, and I alone knowing it.
