Wait Until Dark
A blind woman plays a deadly game of survival.
Directed by Terence Young
Produced by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts
A taut, claustrophobic thriller that transforms a blind woman's vulnerability into a source of tactical advantage in a high-stakes survival game against ruthless criminals.
After a flight back home, Sam Hendrix returns with a doll he innocently acquired along the way. As it turns out, the doll is actually stuffed with heroin, and a group of criminals led by the ruthless Roat has followed Hendrix back to his place to retrieve it. When Hendrix leaves for business, the crooks make their move -- and find his blind wife, Susy, alone in the apartment. Soon, a life-threatening game begins between Susy and the thugs.
