Fantastic!,
By Irish Coleen "Dubliner" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wait Until Dark (DVD)
This is a fantastic movie with Audrey Hepburn as a blind wife who handily defeats the perps in her trendy NY-style apartment. What a thrill it was to see it so many years later, but on our large screen tv. Audrey, as usual is gorgeous & this was always one of my favourite movies of her. I highly recomend it. Arrived really quickly too.Amazingly, I have a beautiful framed picture of Audrey sitting on a New York Pier in a suede fleece jacket, corduroy slacks & turtle neck; it's been hanging in our den for years & Voila!, as I watched the movie, there it is, the exact same picture of her on the wall (in the dvd movie), along with other priceless photo shots of her. Guess you can tell I'm a long time Audrey fan, but then again, who isn't?

A classic thriller,

This review is from: Wait Until Dark (DVD)
I loved it the first time I saw it on tv when I was a kid. Alan Arkin played a creepy villain. Audrey is great in this movie. She made it very believable that she was blind. They just don't make thrillers like this anymore. Reminded me of a Hitchcock film. The ending is guaranteed to make you jump.

"This is the big bad world, full of mean people, where nasty things happen!",
By Annie Van Auken - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wait Until Dark (DVD)
Stephen King opines in his non-fiction book DANSE MACABRE that WAIT UNTIL DARK is the scariest movie of all time and that Alan Arkin's performance "may be the greatest evocation of screen villainy ever."WAIT UNTIL DARK was originally a Frederick Knott play (he also wrote DIAL M FOR MURDER) that opened on Broadway 2/2/66 and closed on New Year's Eve after 373 performances. It starred Lee Remick and Robert Duvall (as the villain). Julie Herrod reprised her role of young Gloria for the movie version. In a straightforward adaptation directed by Terence Young that's set in a basement apartment in Greenwich Village, Miss Hepburn is a recently blinded woman victimized by demented Arkin, whose Lenny Bruce impression here surely was picked up on by Dustin Hoffman when he portrayed Ratso Rizzo in MIDNIGHT COWBOY two years later. In this taut thriller, Crenna and Weston are Arkin's partners in crime. The three bad guys that come to Susy's apartment to search for a drug-filled child's doll take advantage of her good nature and blindness. They visit one at a time, pretending to be a cop, an old man and his son and a friend of Susy's husband (Zimbalist), who'd recently returned from a Montreal trip carrying a doll that was given to him at the airport by a woman he'd never seen before. Now that mysterious lady is dead, murdered by the homicidal "Roat," who first eliminates his two inept partners and then targets Susy. By this point however she's on to his game and although sightless is able to fight back with effectiveness. Their final terrifying scene together is unforgettable! This is a classic fright film, one devoid of special effect trickery, that's all the more effective because it plays out like real life. Don't miss it! Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating. (7.9) Wait Until Dark (1967) - Audrey Hepburn/Alan Arkin/Richard Crenna/Efrem Zimbalist Jr./Jack Weston/Samantha Jones/Julie Herrod (uncredited: Robby Benson/Mel Ferrer-voice) |
