My Review-
I heard about this movie on Bravo's 100 scariest movie moments, and I knew right way I wanted to watch this movie, I just do not know what took me so long to do so. Seeing how this movie was originally based on a play that I have never seen it was pretty cool to see how this was done, and I would love to see how the stage part is done. I have never really seen a Audrey Hepburn movie until now, and I really regret not watching other movies that she has acted in, so its a good thing that I will watch Breakfast at Tiffany's in a few days. I really liked Alan Arkin as the villain in this film, he is now one of my favorite villains in films, he made his character so unapologetic, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. This movie was full of suspense and tension from start to finish and everyone who was in this movie were just down right awesome, I think I should make a note of watching more thriller and suspense movies from this time. As I was watching the movie and it kept getting close to the climatic scene I found myself turning off all the lights one my one, until it was pitch black in the whole house, and it made the movie seem way better for some reason. Another thing I liked about this movie is that Hepburn played a VERY convincing blind woman in the movie. f you have never seen this movie this one that I HIGHLY recommend, it has possibly got to be one of the best thriller movies that keeps building and building until the final moments of the film that I have seen in quite a while and this one old movie that I would really like to own since I really do not own a lot old movies that were made around the late 60s early 70s and I should start watching older movies and seeing what made them so good and talked about, such as this one. I believe now since this was the first Audrey Hepburn movie I have ever seen this is for now my favorite one with her.
