Encyclopedia : E : EY : EYE : Eyes of Laura Mars
Eyes of Laura Mars is a 1978 horror film starring Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones and directed by Irvin Kershner. The screenplay, adapted from a spec script titled Eyes, written by John Carpenter, was Carpenter's first major studio film. The soundtrack included many hit songs from the period, including the film's theme "Prisoner," performed by Barbra Streisand. On its release, the film received poor critical reviews, with critics such as Roger Ebert pointing out its clichéd "woman in trouble" plot. [link] Despite its lukewarm critical reception, the film was a box office hit, earning $20M off of a $7M budget.
