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!
