Monthly Movie Journal: March 2011 (45 movies items)

"This is a strong contender for best 1960's film I've seen that nobody talks about. The plot asks us to suspend our disbelief here and there, but once I met the movie on its terms I was helpless against its greatness. Glad I didn't wait until someone finally told me to see it. If you haven't watched it yet, get out of the dark! "

Wait Until Dark

“Audrey Hepburn made most of her career playing flighty, slightly naïve, child-women who posses a strong sense of grace. Think of her gamine features and coyness in roles such as Sabrina or Holly Golightly. In Wait Until Dark none of that is evident. Hepburn is playing a real woman, a woman who is smart, resourceful, independent and trying to come to terms with her recent blindness.

"Katsottu 21.2.2010 TV Paremmin Bond-ohjaajana tunnettu Terence Young sai ihastuttavan Audrey Hepburnin näyttelijänlahjat suorastaan kukoistamaan trillerissään Yksin pimeässä (1967). Klaustrofobiaa tehokkaasti hyödyntävä jännäri sijoittaa piinaavat tapahtumansa yhteen ainoaan huoneeseen. Hepburn esittää sokeaa naista, joka sattumalta joutuu kolmen rikollisen piinaamaksi. Melkoinen ahdistus ja kauhu ovat pinnassa miesten hiillostaessa naista salaperäisen nuken takia. Nukke sisältä"

"Ihan kiva jännäri, joka tuntuu varsin Hitchcock-vaikutteiselta. On tämä hieman ennalta-arvattava, mutta kyllä tämä pitää oivallisesti otteessaan. Audrey Hepburn vetää roolinsa sokeana naisena todella hyvin."

"A simple yet entertaining thriller with Audrey Hepburn in a quite convincing performance as a blind woman, and Alan Arkin in a cool portrayal as a villianous beatnik, both of whom are characters in this movie who are... well ,y'know.... waiting until dark. "
