Wait Until Dark (1967)

Three men determined to recover smuggled heroin craft an elaborate plan to gain access to a safe in which they're sure the drugs have been hidden. The safe is in the apartment belonging to a photographer and his recently-blind wife (Audrey Hepburn).

Not only is the story well-crafted, the acting is truly stellar. Hepburn, in particular, turns in a terrific performance, rarely causing a suspension of belief in her handicap. That her character is smart and resourceful rather than a damsel in distress-type is refreshing in this surprisingly tense movie.

B+
