Movie Reviews of Wait Until Dark
Movie Review: An unforgettable thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very happy to find "Wait Until Dark" on DVD at Amazon. I saw this movie as a kid when it first was released in the theatre and I can still remember the screams from the audience in the last minutes of the film.
Audrey Hepburn gives an incredible performance as a recently blinded woman who is terrorized by three men who concoct an elaborate scheme to retrieve a heroin stuffed doll they believe she has in her posession. The cast of characters is small but extremely talented and effective. Alan Arkin's performance as Audrey's tormentor is superb and their interaction brings this movie to an unforgettable climax.
This is an edge of the seat, nail biting thriller suitable for teens to adult; and the perfect addition to any video library.
Movie Review: Alan Arkin in an unforgettable performance
Summary: 5 Stars
This thriller stars Audrey Hepburn as Suzy Hendrix, a recently-blinded woman whose husband unknowingly brings home a doll filled with narcotics. It belongs to some very unsavory criminals (including Alan Arkin and Richard Crenna) who will do anything to get the doll back. They terrorize Suzy, who must use every bit of her cunning to defend herself.
Hepburn is just great; lovely and sympathetic as Suzy, but Arkin really steals the show. As thug Harry Roat, he is so cruel, creepy, and repulsive, you will be on the edge of your seat. I've never forgotten this film because of his electrifying performance (you will jump at the end!). I recommend it for those who like to be scared; you will be.

Wait Until Dark w/Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna: By far this
movie is the best for keeping you glued to its every move..From "the get-go"
you're yelling at the screen to try to help Audrey survive her ordeal..and
when it really gets to the movies "heart", you can't even take a breath..
All your energy will be focused to saving Audrey from those evil men..each
person in this movie does a truely perfect acting job..you will never
forget "Wait Until Dark"..I still get the jitters after 41 years...A MUST
SEE..Mary Walton
Movie Review: A True Hitchcockian Thriller -- Not By Hitchcock
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a kid.....this movie was showing on TV......my parents said, "If you watch that, you'll have nightmares." And were they right.
Wait Until Dark is a Hitchcockian-type thriller about three men looking for a doll. And Audrey Hepburn plays a blind woman who gets involved in the plot.
Probably the most unnerving part of the movie is the score provided by Henry Mancini (an out of tune piano with other instruments).
This movie is recommended for teenagers 15 years of age and older because the style is definitely Hitchcockian.
Movie Review: Wait Until Dark
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with Sue, regardless of how many times you watch this movie you are going to be pleased. The first time I saw this movie was back around 1971 in college one night when the movie was being shown in the cafeteria. To this day I still remember the one sceen where I felt like jumped a couple of feet into the air along with everyone else. It's been a long time since I last saw this movie and I have been waiting for the DVD release for a couple of years.So turn out the lights and get ready for a very good movie that I am sure you will enjoy.
