Product Description:
The gripping tale of a blind woman confronted in her apartment by three criminals with an incredibly elaborate and sinister scheme. One of the first true jump-out-of-your-seat thrillers.
Amazon.com:
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

A classic film that I wanted to own. Hepburn is one of my favorite actresses.

I first saw this movie in its initial release back in 1967. I was gripped right from the beginning and held spellbound all through it. The final 15 minutes is when the big payoff comes and I remember everyone in the theater screaming for dear life! Truly a masterpiece in suspense and psychological thrills.
Here I am 42 years later and this movie has the same effect on me today as it did back then, and this comes after the blood and gore that producers rely on today to scare the bejesus ... Read More

Like so many others, I too love this movie and am pleased with the DVD release. Rather than repeat what others have said, I wanted to add my own little side note: in addition to leaving front doors unlocked, who in the current time would send an eleven year old girl out at night by herself in Manhattan to the Port Authority Bus Station to wait for buses?!? While I was scared for Hepburn's character in that little apartment, I was also scared for the little girl skipping off into the darkness! Also, ... Read More

WAIT UNTIL DARK has become one of my favorite thriller movies next to movies like Dressed to Kill.
In it, Audrey Hepburn plays a woman who is learning to live life as a blind person after an accident took her sight. She becomes involved with three shady characters after her husband gets a doll from a woman he met on a flight back home, and now the doll is missing. Anyway, the men want the doll back and will stop at nothing to get it and drive poor Audrey to the brink of insanity!

An excellent cast and plot makes this movie a compelling thriller. It's great to see Hepburn, Crenna, Zimbalist Jr. Weston and Arkin together weaving their magic. The cars in the scenes may show their age, but the movie does not. Good is good, and this film is definitely worth watching.
