Synopsis:
Wait Until Dark is an innovative, highly entertaining and suspenseful
thriller about a blind housewife, Susy Hendrix (Audrey Hepburn).
Independent and resourceful, Susy is learning to cope with her blindness, which
resulted from a recent accident. She is aided by her difficult, slightly
unreliable young neighbor Gloria (Julie Herrod) with whom she has an exasperated
but lovingly maternal relationship. Susy's life is changed as she is terrorized
by a group of criminals who believe she has hidden a baby doll used by them to
smuggle heroin into the country. Unknown to Susy, her photographer husband Sam (Efrem
Zimbalist Jr.) took the doll as a favor for a woman he met on an international
plane flight and unwittingly brought the doll to the couple's New York apartment
when the woman became afraid of the customs officials. Alone in her apartment
and cut-off from the outside world, Susy must fight for her life against a gang
of ruthless criminals, led by the violent, psychotic Roat (Alan Arkin). The
tension builds as Roat, aided by his gang, impersonates police officers and
friends of her husband in order to win Susy's confidence, gaining access to her
apartment to look for the doll. The climax of the film, a violent physical
confrontation between Susie and Roat in her dark kitchen, is one of the most
memorable and frightening scenes in screen history. All performances are
outstanding, particularly those of Audrey Hepburn, who plays a vulnerable, but
self-reliant woman, and Alan Arkin, in perhaps his best role, as the ruthless,
manipulative Roat.
