Wait Until Dark is recommended

Wait Until Dark is a 1967 thriller starring Audrey Hepburn as a blind woman and Alan Arkin as a cold-blooded killer.  It was a lot more violent and dark than I expected.  Both Audrey and Alan are amazing.  I've been in love with Alan since Little Miss Sunshine.

Strange that Andrew picked this movie with the Casino Royale film from the video store, because the director also directed Dr. No and two other Bond films.

Also, I had no idea that Audrey Hepburn wasn't American.  She was actually a witness to Nazi atrocities in Holland as a young girl (10-15).  You really should read about it.

Shit. I read about Hepburn's childhood, as you suggested. Crap. Holy crap.

Yeah, the starvation etc she suffered during world war two is probably why she was so thin throughout her life.

I've never watched Wait Until Dark. I keep catching the same part of it on television though for some reason. I should just go and rent it.

I watched this movie once and was totally shocked at how scary it was. I wasn't expecting it to be because it had Audrey in it and most of her films are not so dark, I didn't know anything about it when it came on the classic movie channel. (Back when I still had cable). Even though I don't generally like such scary dark films, and I know i wouldn't watch this one again, it really was a fantastic film. Really well done.
