WAIT UNTIL DARK
March 21, 2020  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
Alan Arkin has an actor’s field day in this 1967 film adaptation of the Frederick Knott play,  but I can’t tell you why without ruining one of this drama’s many surprises. So just tune in and watch – and turn off as many lights in your house as possible. Audrey Hepburn plays a blind woman who eventually becomes the target of a group of thieves and a home invasion. Suspense? Absolutely. Clever, intense, intimate direction? Absolutely – and it’s by Terence Young, whose work in this small-scale thriller must have been quite a change after directing, by that point, Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Thunderball.
