A True Psychological Thriller!
Added 11/8/2009
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 out of us. Pretty poor attempt in my opinion.
Audrey was nominated for a well deserved Academy Award but, unfortunately, she lost to the other Miss Hepburn. Nonetheless, this movie has withstood the test of time and is well worth watching. Try watching it from Suzy's (Audreys Character) point of view, after the initial shock has worn off. It is a whole new experience in chills and thrills!!

Looking back
Added 10/12/2009
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, it would have made more sense to send her to the nearest police station rather than to wait at a bus station in hopes of running into Hepburn's husband - ah well, movies!
But don't let that stop you from seeing this movie. It's worth every second of great suspense!

Edge Of Your Seat ***Thriller***!
Added 10/3/2009
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!
Hepburn plays the role convincingly and the cinematography is really cool. There are moments when there's nothing but pitch-blackness on the screen and so you get a sense of what the main character must be experiencing as she's being terrorized by these thugs!
The special features include:
Featurette--"A Look In The Dark"--8:35-minute
interview with Alan Arkin, who plays the sadistic "Roat," and producer Mel Ferrer, who was married to Hepburn at the time.
Theatrical Trailer & Warning--
warning is a voice-over with text that tells audience members not to light up cigarettes in the movie house (wow, they smoked inside the theater back then!)during the pitch dark scenes so it wouldn't take away from the scene.
WAIT UNTIL DARK is a must see for fans of scary movies and of course, Hepburn fans.
