Luca D. @JoeCamel7 2d In terms of plot and suspense, it's really great, and most of the acting is too, that is until we get to Hepburn's performance. I can't understand the hype around her acting in this movie, it literally drags the movie down for me. Every scene is riveting and intense, and then there's Hepburn giving a sigh, and a cry, every ten minutes, just like in any B grade film noir from the 1930s-60s. Like is sighing and bellowing considered outstanding acting? If anything Arkin and Crenna kept the movie afloat, along with the outstanding plot, cinematography, and soundtrack. Hepburn's soapy performance kind of killed the movie for me. If you are interested in suspenseful films, this is a good example of how to build and maintain suspense, just don't expect any top class acting lessons from this one. -side note, she never thought once to lock her door???- See more Kristofer K @kbkaizer May 15 Textbook classic showcasing how to sustain tension, suspense, and keep a story moving with most of the story happening in a single location.

Hepburn is straight up gangsta and Alan Arkin plays a great psycho See more Jay W @RT52162311 11/20/2024 Audrey Hepburn plays Susy Hendrix, a blind woman who finds herself unwittingly in the middle of an elaborate drug smuggling scheme. The movie begins with people hiding drugs inside a doll. The doll finds itself in possession of the Hendrix family who are unaware of its significance. 3 Men then conspire to steal the doll from the blind lady and are willing to do whatever it takes to get that doll. Terrance Young, best known for his Bond films, directs a very tense and tightly written thriller. By today's standards the film may seem slow paced. The movie does take some time to get going but give it some time. This movie is a great example of setup and payoff. You may not see it coming, but when it comes it is great.
