Color of Night is a 1994 erotic mystery thriller film starring Bruce Willis. It is one of two well-known works by director Richard Rush, the other being The Stunt Man. As a measure of the difference between the two, The Stunt Man had three Academy Award nominations, while this film "won" a 1994 Golden Raspberry Award. Since its release on VHS and DVD it has gained status as a cult film.
The plot of the film is clearly influenced by the movies of Alfred Hitchcock, particularly Vertigo. Willis plays Bill Capa, a psychiatrist who suffers, bizarrely, from stress-induced color blindness, caused by the sight of the bloody body of a patient, clad in a bright green dress, after she committed suicide by jumping from his office window high in an office building (compare the fall at the beginning of Vertigo which precipitates the phobia in the James Stewart character). The title refers to the fact that he sees only shades of gray.
To restart his life, Capa travels to California and visits a friend, another psychiatrist. His friend is soon murdered, however, and Capa is plunged into the mystery of the friend's murder, possibly committed by one of his extremely neurotic patients. He also conducts an affair with Rose (Jane March), a mysterious girl who inserts herself into his life.
