Wait Until Dark

This is one gem of a movie. Is quite slow as per my likings, but since i'd heard that its a very nice movie,I held on to my patience and saw the entire movie. Its a movie made in the sixties, so you know what to expect in terms of grandeur of sets or wardrobes or background score.
It stars Audrey Hepburn in a most fascinating role, that of a recently blinded woman. The movie starts on a very slow note, and the plot is not unfolded until after the first one hour or so. But once it starts rolling, there's no option but to sit glued to your chair.
How easy cons feel it is to fool a blind person, but little do they know that even though he/she is blind, he/she has the ability to outsmart those who can see...just you wait until dark! That's the conviction with which Susie(Audrey Hepburn) saves herself from the three thieves.
The performances were unbelievably good, especially Susie's. So simple, elegant and yet so powerful.
This movie is a must watch, on the big screen. But since its impossible to find this movie playing in any multiplex now, I recommend watching it with the room pitch black. The goosebumps you will feel are a much needed part of the experience. So go and enjoy this movie.
