A tense thriller. A sinister con-man
and two ex-convicts have traced the location of a mysterious
doll, which they are much interested in, to the Greenwich
Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy.
Sam had been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll
across the Canadian border. When the woman is murdered the
situation becomes urgent. Through a cleverly constructed
deception, the criminals convince Susy that the police have
implicated Sam in the murder. Susy figures out she is the
victim of a bizarre charade. She knows the only way to
play fair is by her rules and so she waits until dark to level
the playing field. Wait Until Dark was first presented at the
Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York City on February 2, 1966.
Starring were two unknown actors at the time, Lee Remick and
Robert Duvall.
