Reception
“When I was directing Night unto Night, I fell in love with Viveca [Lindfors]. Consequently, she could do no wrong and I was certainly not in any position to critisise her. I just sat back and enjoyed looking at her, and she was, I must say, particuarly lovely. And I did very little directing.”—Don Seigel in The Hollywood Professionals Volume 4 (1975)[5]
According to biographer Judith M. Kass, “Night unto Night is heavily atmospheric, leaning on the wind-whipped trees, pounding water and racing clouds of Florida before hurricane for its threatening overtones.”[6]
The film was a major box-office flop, earning $449,000 domestically and $249,000 foreign.[1]
