An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Wait Until Dark, the 1967 Terence Young blind woman crime thriller ("The blinds moving up and down... the squeaking shoes... and then the knife whistling past her ear..."; "Wait"; "During the last eight minutes of this picture the theatre will be darkened to the legal limit to heighten the terror of the breathtaking climax which takes place in nearly total darkness on the screen. In those sections where smoking is permitted those patrons are respectfully requested not to jar the effect by lighting up during this sequence. And of course, no one will be seated at this time."; "Any similarity between any person, living or dead, and the characters portrayed in this film is purely coincidental and not intended"; "What did they want with her? What did they want with her?"; "Audrey Hepburn is a totally trapped girl at the mercy of Alan Arkin and Richard Crenna in Wait Until Dark"; "Based on the play by Fredrick Knott"; about a blind girl who is terrorized by a burglar) starring Audrey Hepburn (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna, Jack Weston, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Jean Del Val, and Samantha Jones. Note that this movie was loosely based on a true life case, and the producers of the movie wanted to avoid any possible lawsuit, so they printed up snipes that denied any similarity between the movie and actual events, and many posters have the studio-issued snipes attached. They also asked (in the pressbook and 40x60) that theaters darken their theater in the final 8 minutes of the movie (to greatly heighten the intensity of the great surprise ending of the movie), and they printed up snipes that disclosed this to the audience, and posters often have this snipe attached as well.

Also note that this still was printed on Kodak paper, but we believe it to surely be an original still. Sometimes, studios would run out of stills and have extras printed on Kodak stock. Condition: very good. There are tiny numbers written in black marker in the right of the bottom border. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
