I've seen the movie SEVERAL times (I'm thinking probably a dozen - if it's on TV I just can't turn it off) & you excellently explain the problems the original reviewer had with the film.<br />I still think it's a really good film but I don't like the way Sam treats Susy "like a kid." Rather misogynistic & creepy for a husband.<br />Other than that, the performances are great, especially Arkin as a creep among creeps.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262071124717763953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190134209749678440.post-16529219445077592152018-10-02T11:09:31.997-07:002018-10-02T11:09:31.997-07:00During the first half of the movie she didn't ...During the first half of the movie she didn't even know where the doll was. I expect she didn't call the police early on because she thought the police were already involved. Plus, she thought they were going after Sam for the murder of Lisa.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180079354722450556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190134209749678440.post-56582188137081038712016-06-27T01:27:24.077-07:002016-06-27T01:27:24.077-07:00She didn't have Gloria call the police as she ...She didn't have Gloria call the police as she was going to call them once she knew Gloria was out if the house. When Susy tried calling the police she then discovered the line had been cut.<br /><br />They established early on that Gloria was alone at home and the other tenants were leaving on a skiing trip<br /><br />Roar dressed up as two other people so outside witnesses would not recognize him (remember he is a crafty and methodical criminal... Carefully plotted out plan and very cautious with fingerprints.<br /><br />She could have given him the doll when she found it ( remember she was going to give it to Mike until she found out he was a baddie) but it then became her only bargaining chip. Once they has the doll she was a dead woman.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381957760122457806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190134209749678440.post-19426484082621686472016-06-23T08:13:05.367-07:002016-06-23T08:13:05.367-07:00Excellent synopsis of Wait Until Dark. It gave me ...Excellent synopsis of Wait Until Dark. It gave me several new insights into a great movie I have loved for many years. And I also wonder why Susy doesn't get help early on in the film. And then I always remember. Oh yeah, then we don't have a great movie at all! So, Audrey Hepburn fans always view this flick assuming Suzy Hendrix is too confused to do the things we all assume. Thanks for this wonderful assessment of a classic film!kenomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185588014948009390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190134209749678440.post-56941717154275701632016-02-08T06:25:25.895-08:002016-02-08T06:25:25.895-08:00Has anybody noticed that the "Greenwich Villa...Has anybody noticed that the "Greenwich Village" of the film is deserted and uninhabited? Has anybody ever seen long stretches of empty parking spaces on streets in a lower Manhattan neighborhood? Or a parking lot where someone has room to start a car and drive it over another person? Or when Gloria (Julie Herrod) accosts Carlino (Jack Weston) to sell Girl Scout cookies, they're the only ones on the sidewalk? Have you ever walked down a sidewalk in Greenwich Village? Are they typically deserted in your experience? If you go by the exterior shots of this movie, you'd conclude that New York City has about 35 inhabitants, total.ghostoflectricityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353943236869084993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190134209749678440.post-23765639673591942212015-02-28T10:03:16.035-08:002015-02-28T10:03:16.035-08:00Nobody seems to know what happened to actress Juli...Nobody seems to know what happened to actress Julie Herrod. Wearing those glasses in the film, she looks a bit nerdy (on purpose), but I suspect she grew up to be quite pretty. With a dad directing for CBS TV and a Broadway credit, did she opt to stop? Married? A different career? Somebody must know her today when she'd be...hmmm, about my age.PieCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185380948049104634noreply@blogger.com
