It's a color film ladies and gents, yeah I know it's goin in the way back machine for this one. Three guys want to get their mitts on a doll with significant value stuffed inside it. They cannot find it in an apartment that houses a blind woman named Susy (Audrey Hepburn). In WAIT UNTIL DARK, these men collude and pretend like they are someone else in order for them to discover where it was hidden. A safe cannot be opened so they suspect that is what they have to get access to. One of the 3 bad guys named Mike (Richard Crenna) poses as a friend of Susy's husband. One poses as a policeman. A varied use of ruses to uncover where it might be proves to be unsuccessful. Turns out the blind lady is pretty tough, an attitude instilled in her by her husband. It gets scary when Harry (Alan Arkin) shows up and confesses how he did in the other two. The lights go out. Will Susy be able to hold off the trio of roughnecks before help arrives? Will she stop them of her own doing? These are pondersome questions I ask as we watch suspensefully unfold a kewl thriller tastefully put together to keep us glued to our seats. [4.2 stars]
