A striking design on this poster for the 1974 blaxploitation crime caper Black Eye (opens in a new tab), starring genre favourite Fred Williamson (opens in a new tab) as Stone, a Los Angeles private-eye. Following a film star’s funeral, a signature cane is stolen from their house and Stone discovers that the item is connected to a string of grisly murders. His investigation sees him visiting an adult movie set, as well as getting involved with a drug ring and a religious cult, all the time dealing with the machinations of his bisexual girlfriend (played by Teresa Graves (opens in a new tab)).
The film was directed by Jack Arnold (opens in a new tab) who is best known for helming a series of iconic horror and sci-fi films during the 1950s, including Creature from the Black Lagoon (opens in a new tab) (1954), It Came from Outer Space (opens in a new tab) (1953) and The Incredible Shrinking Man (opens in a new tab) (1957).
The original trailer is available to watch on YouTube (opens in a new tab).
