I looked for "The Hypnotic Eye" at Central Library's dvd section. No luck. I did run across a very campy b/w Mexican horror movie titled, "The Skeleton of Ms. Morales". English subtitles. http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B000JMK6XK More of a dark comedy, the story takes a couple of unexpected twists. One of the funnier subplots is Mr Morales' love of a good steak which his wife never lets him enjoy. The movie leads one to believe that Mr. Morales and his house keeper are having a love affair. One day Ms Morales leaves the house to visit with her church group, Mr. Morales rushes upstairs to the housekeeper, they look longingly into each other's eyes; Mr. Morales says; "Now is our chance!" The house keeper; "Yes! Anything you desire!" Mr Morales; "Could you make me a nice thick steak!"

JRB, you MUST! I used to have viewing parties JUST to show that movie. It's incredible and - as if you needed more - stars Allison Hayes, aka the 50 Foot Woman!

Switch a couple words around Elise? Naughty, naughty! I'm going to have to look for "The Hypnotic Eye". From the review posted it sounds like it might be kind of Roger Cormanish. I love those old campy 50's horror flix.

Umm, ohhh, I mis-read the title. Umm, never mind.
