Dead Man’s Eyes (1944)

Artist David Stuart is blinded by a jealous assistant / model. His fiance’s father generously offers his eyes for a sight restoring operation. There’s only one hitch: Stuart has to wait until after the man dies. Not surprisingly, when the benefactor dies a very premature death, suspicion falls on the artist.
