Question 1

Why was Eye of the Devil released so long after filming?

Accepted Answer

Filming was completed in early 1966, but the American release was delayed until late 1967 and the British release until spring 1968. The unexpected popularity of David Hemmings' breakthrough role in Blow-Up (1966) likely pushed MGM to release it.
