Interesting facts

Black Eye is a 1974 American neo-noir action blaxploitation film produced by Pat Rooney, directed by Jack Arnold and starring Fred Williamson. The film was based on the 1971 novel Murder on the Wild Side by Jeff Jacks.

Production

Black Eye, originally entitled simply Stone (the protagonist's name), was conceived as “a Raymond Chandler-style detective story," and is set in Santa Monica and Venice, California.

Director Jack Arnold shot the entire movie on location, none which was filmed in a studio. Arnold's “speed and efficiency” in executing the picture earned him high praise from producer Pat Rooney, who thanked Arnold publicly in a promotional advertisement in The Hollywood Reporter.
