[edit] Film or play?

"Wait Until Dark" is first (and foremost) a stage play. By focusing almost exclusively on the film version, this article puts the cart before the horse. The plot summary in this article appears to have been copied from imdb. Should a "movie database" be used as a source of plot summaries for the works of Shakespeare, Shaw and Ibsen? (Knott isn't quite in this league ...)

[edit] Film plot summary

The plot summary was directly from [1]. That plot summary is copyright imdb. It was written by John Vogel (jlvogel at comcast.net) and it's possible that Mr. Vogel also wrote the version here. I'd rather not e-mail Mr. Vogel, but if someone wants to they could do so. moink 17:15, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Which year was this film made?

It is categorized as a 1966 film, but the article says 1967.

[edit] Turning off the lights

I can verify that theaters did indeed turn off all the lights during the long (10 minute?) scene in the dark apartment, with Alan Arkin trying to kill the blind Audrey Hepburn. Scared the shit out of me, I can tell you that! ==ILike2BeAnonymous 07:04, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

According to the DVD, advertising said theaters would be darkened "to the legal limit" during the last eight minutes, since you ask. —66.80.11.122 19:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the doll's song

What was the tune? I couldn't hear it clearly enough to identify it, assuming it's one I might know. —66.80.11.122 19:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
