Product Description

Additional Features

The chief extra of the Wait Until Dark DVD is a new 8.5-minute featurette anchored by interviews with Alan Arkin ("Mostly, I hated terrorizing Audrey Hepburn.") and producer Mel Ferrer, Hepburn's then-husband. There are also two theatrical trailers that prove that anything you know about this film before you see it is too much. --David Horiuchi

Amazon.com essential video

Audrey Hepburn's last Oscar nomination was for this adaptation of Frederick Knott's famed stage thriller about a blind woman, a con man (Alan Arkin), and a doll full of heroin. Thanks to Hepburn's husband, a photographer who does a good deal of traveling, she's unknowingly come into possession of said doll, which was given to him on a plane by a comely young drug runner who winds up dead. The murderous Arkin, aided by sympathetic henchman Richard Crenna, will let nothing stand in the way of his obtaining it, even if it comes down to assaying multiple "personalities" in order to visit and terrorize Hepburn; Crenna is unwillingly enlisted to help. However, the "world's champion blind lady" (as Hepburn sardonically states) is more than up to the task of defending herself in her basement Manhattan apartment in a heart-stopping climax that to this day still defines the way horror movies with jack-in-the-box psychos are made. Despite the obvious staginess of it all (the entire action takes place in Hepburn's apartment), it still works magnificently, thanks to Hepburn's steely will and Arkin's deadly, sadistic madman. A helpful hint: turn out all the lights when you watch it; theaters back in 1967 did so, killing the guiding lights during the film's last 15 minutes. We can't tell you why, but trust us, it's worth it. --Mark Englehart

Great movie at an amazing price!
A little slow in coming to me, but that is all down to the postal strike not the seller.
Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Audrey at her peak, Sep 1 2008
By 
G. Motychko "Miss Nay-Sayer" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Wait Until Dark (DVD)
I had recently ordered this movie from Amazon, and believe me, it was well-worth the over two-week wait!

I had heard so much about it, and I was really impressed with Audrey as far as acting is concerned. She wasn't afraid to 'let loose' so to speak. Aside from her acting, this movie lives up to the hype! It might take a couple watches to really get you to understand the doll predicament, but you can still enjoy the movie regardless of that. You will watch this movie with your face glued to the screen, your heart in your mouth, and you might want to leave the lights on!

The only thing I wasn't impressed about, that doesn't have to do with the film itself is the box it comes in. I'm not fond of the cardboard ones. But, that doesn't really matter.
