A reviewer noted that Kim Novak the star of this film was replaced because Kim Novak was considered "inadequate". This is false. Kim Novak, a fine actress, was first billed in the film over David Niven and the rest of the cast. Kim Novak was injured during filming in a fall from a horse and had to leave this MGM Film. Deborah Kerr was the star brought in to replace Kim Novak. Kerr and David Niven were friends. The Eye of The Devil is a weak film. Ms. Kerr a classic star at the time of her replacing Kim Novak was no way near the box office star Kim Novak was at the time in the mid 60's
Kim Novak and the director of this film J Lee Thompson would re united years later in a UA western, The White Buffalo co starring Charles Bronson. Kim Novak would return to MGM in Robert Aldrich's "Legend Of Lylah Clare" where again Kim Novak was top billed in a large cast including Peter Finch.
