Though she could see nothing, Principal is counting on her sensory and olfactory reminiscences, as well as her own instincts, to help the police track down the murderer. Naturally, this results in the killer stalking the "helpless" Principal, who proves to be nothing of the sort. Victoria Principal not only starred in Blind Witness (working like a demon to make her blindness utterly convincing), but also functioned as the film's co-executive producer. This made-for-TV movie debuted on November 26, 1989, heralded by the requisite TV Guide cover story. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Victoria Principal stars as a blind woman pursued by killers in this television movie with many of the elements from the classic Wait Until Dark. Paul Le Mat is a sympathetic cop. Moments of tension are achieved but its just not as good as the original.
Dean !

Saw this a long time ago but it was a pretty good thriller.
