Wait Until Dark (Knott)

By Frederick Knott

Book Overview

A sinister con man named Roat and two ex-convicts, Mike and Carlino, are about to meet their match. They have traced the location of a mysterious doll to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Sam had apparently been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll across the Canadian border, not knowing that sewn inside were several grams of heroin. When the woman is murdered, the situation becomes more urgent. The con man and his ex-convicts convince Susy that the police have implicated Sam in the woman's murder, and the doll, which she believes is the key to his innocence, is evidence. However, she refuses to reveal its location, and with the help of a young neighbor, figures out that she is the victim of a bizarre charade. But when Roat kills his associates, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues between the two.

Customer Reviews

The Movie is well worth watching

For months I've read about the movies staring Audrey Hepburn. I waited to watch Wait Until Dark when I could view it in the Afternoon. I knew it would be violent and did not want to retire for the day with that fresh on my mind. It was a wise decision. The drama here is magnificent but startling. Miss Hepburn shows the range of her talents. The violence is stark but the display is reasonably moderate. This is Miss Hepburn at her best and equal to her performance in the Nun's Story. The pre-filming preparation with a blind coach and girl make her performance all the more real. I congratulate Mr. Finnemman for his directing efforts.

One of the best plays ever written!

This is a must read, or see play. One of the best depictions of a psycotic killer. Don't pass it up!
