Summary: "The blinds moving up and down. . . the squeaking shoes. . .
Review: ...and then the knife whistling past her ear. . . "At the ripe old age of 38, Audrey Hepburn proved that she had aged like fine wine in Terrence Young's "Wait Until Dark", for which she earned her fifth, and last, Oscar nomination. Despite obviously being based on the long-running Broadway play; as the majority of the story takes place in an apartment and there are few characters; it translates surprisingly well onto screen and is remarkably intriguing and suspenseful. Alan Arkin, who plays one of the vilest villains of 60's cinema, Richard Crenna, and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. make up the stellar supporting cast and all turn in excellent performances. The sheer terror "Wait Until Dark" inflicts upon its audience comes from the filmmakers ability to place us in Suzy's shoes. The very idea of being blind and trapped in an apartment and horribly alone even though you are in one of the most densely populated areas of the world, just plains scares me. The nail-biting climax has some truly classic moments in it (who knew Alan Arkin was such a gymnast?) and will stick with you long after the film is over. As always, Audrey is simply perfection. Charming and beautiful even in the most unflattering situations, she yet again proves her star power. The constant distress and anguish Audrey portrays onscreen is achingly real, and unfortunately, not very far from the truth. She was suffering from anorexia and marriage troubles with the producer of the film, Mel Ferrer, throughout the entire shoot. One can only imagine how draining it must have been for her to be required to be screaming and crying the whole shoot while dealing with these problems. Her Oscar nomination was most certainly deserved!

Summary: WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT
Review: Few actresses have lit up the screen in the same fashion as the late Audrey Hepburn. In this 1967 thriller (her last Oscar nomination), she plays a blind woman who finds herself terrorized by a trio of men looking for a heroin-stuffed doll.
Relying on pure psychological suspense as opposed to gore and violence, WAIT UNTIL DARK is still a powerful movie. Miss Hepburn is perfect for the role---she seems so frail, and yet there is an inner strength that comes to her aid in the final moments of the film. She lost the Oscar that year to another Hepburn (Katherine in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner"), and it just goes to show how Oscar at times relies more on sentimentality than the actual power of a performance.
Richard Crenna eschewed his good guy roles by playing Mike Talman, one of the cons who does appreciate Suzie's intelligence. Jack Weston, a great comic actor, also goes for more visceral drama, and his performance as the buffoon is right on target. And what about Mr. Alan Arkin? His cold, insensitive evil is just right!!! Little Julie Herrod as Gloria also does a credible job.
Terence Young's direction is tight and Henry Mancini's impeccable music also heightens the suspense.
WAIT UNTIL DARK is a classic thriller, and one of Miss Hepburn's finest moments.

Summary: love can do wonders
Review: Beautiful inspiring movie. It shows how strong love can be. Sam loves Susy so much.
Pure love is not weak. It makes a person stronger. Sam supports Susy, encourages her and helps her in learning all the essential things of life.
Love is patience.Sam is calm. He never looses his temper while helping Susy and patience pays.
Love is to respect.Sam never insults or hurt Susy because she is blind.He treats her like a normal person and Susy complements Sam
completely.
Sam and Susy are made for each other.Totally,the movie shows wahat a true love should be.
It is very difficult to survive in this world with bad people trying to ruin our lives. Life for Sucy was not easy being blind and trying to adjust to the new blind world. Bad guys come looking for a doll stuffed with drugs when Sam was away at work.She fights back so hard.She uses her inner sense. The way she remembers the foot steps,switching off all the lights and smelling gasolene and scaring the villain by lighting the matchbox is thrilling.
Story ends with a happy note and lots of inspiration.
