Mel Ferrer's Wait Until Dark (1967) remains a personal favorite and a perennial choice for film viewing as the light changes. Folks in search of a good thriller around Halloween might want to reconsider your typical slasher options and settle for an evening of carefully paced but even handed drama. Audrey Hepburn's Suzy Hendrix is vulnerable but not insensible. She lives in a world of "dark brown", left blind to the world around her as a result of a car accident which took place a year earlier. Her husband loves and supports Suzy and demands from her that she gain some independence. At a time when second wave feminists were making their presence known, Suzy's ability to overcome the predatory world around her makes her a timeless heroine.
