 Directed by Jag Mundhra, produced by Ashok Amritraj, and starring Andrew Stevens and Tanya Roberts, "Night Eyes" made $30 million in DTV sales though it was produced for only $1 million.The film's potent combination of noirish thriller and erotic romance, and the enormous financial returns it generated in DTV sales, was a watershed moment for the erotic thriller as a non-theatrical film genre.The success of "Night Eyes" even prompted some filmmakers with a background in hardcore pornography to begin making movies for this lucrative new market.
