All things considered, a really well done and engrossing film for it's time.
The plot line is overly complicated for it's own good, but the trick here is NOT to over analyze it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
The cast is solid and everyone does a good (if not a bit ha...( read more)
For a 1960's film it not only works well it is actually still suspenseful.
Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin turn out some wonderful performances, Richard Crenna makes for a likeable bad guy and the plot unfolds at a nice pace. A highly recommended top notch old school thriller.
A non-stop suspenseful tour de force. Once Wait Until Dark starts with the thrills it never lets up. I hope you're not a nail bitter, cause if so, after watching this one you won't have any nails left! It's hair-raising and it's sensational. Audrey Hepburn is truly nothing short ...( read more)
Blinded after an accident, Suzy Hendrix (Hepburn) finds herself mixed up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a gang of conmen (Arkin, Crenna and Weston) after her husband (Zimbalist Jr) comes into possession of a doll stuffed with heroin.
Adapted from a stage play, this ta...( read more)
hey! the bad guys take a nod from the coppers and use "good"bad guy, "bad" bad guy to put the squeeze on poor lil blind as a bat (is it politically correct to say that?) audrey, only she got her own ideers! very tense, very nerve-wracking...you've been warned.
Good god. A remarkable and groundbreaking thriller. What else could you expect from Alan Arkin and Audrey Hepburn though? The beginning is a little confusing but after the ball gets rolling the whole things damn near flawless. Nary a beat is missed. What this film gets more than ...( read more)

Such a good movie! I can't believe it took me this long to see it! Alan Arkin and Audrey Hepburn were so good in this. Not to mention that the entire film is basically set in one room, even more so than the first "Saw" film which is pretty impressive. It also plays on a realisti...( read more)
I have never quite "gotten" the whole thing with Audrey Hepburn. I have never thought she was all that attractive or especially good as an actress. Here I found her okay, although a bit annoying, but the actual movie is really good. Great suspense thriller which kept me intere...( read more)
This is probably one of the best films based on a play I've had the fortune of watching. At time this film will require suspension of disbelief but Alan Arkin and Richard Crenna give us exceptional performances. As for Ms.Hepburn, she follows through as usual but I think she should've been nominated for her role in Two for the Road released the same year rather than this one.
