      The two blind in the light and the blind in the dark are not blind

      The reason why I have a soft spot for this movie is not because I didn't find the problems, but because this movie is so wonderful and every picture is beautiful. Of course, you will find many loopholes in this movie while watching it, especially why the little girl didn't go to the police. But because the most exciting part of the play, the rivalry in the dark, can be said to challenge the limits of the audience and challenge the movie itself. Can the movie be allowed to unfold in the...

      The Best Audrey Hepburn Movie, Yet the Least Known.

      According to Mr. Burke, the best Audrey Hepburn movie, yet the least known. In deed, it is a great portrayal of a blind lady by Hepburn. I love the suspense throughout the movie, set at the very beginning by the hanging corpse on the closet wall, like a real size doll, being ignored by Suzie as she takes out her scarf. I love the progression of horror built throughout the movie, from the double phone ring to that make-you-jump (literarily) scene. No blood involved, yet it makes you tremble! I...

      Provoked discussion about the "mentally retarded plot"

      On the Internet, people's hot discussion about this film is not because of the wonderful performance of the screen goddess Audrey Hepburn, but the film critic Roger Albert gave it a zero score. The zero score seems to stem from the "mentally retarded plot" mentioned in the film review. Albert defines this concept as: "The development of the plot is heavily dependent on the stupid behavior of the characters. When faced with some dilemmas that can be easily overcome by relying on common sense,...

      There is one kind of film that makes people most troublesome in the world

      The


          most troublesome movie in the world is that when you want to classify it into a certain type, you find that it does not have the characteristics of that type.
          The Terror of the Blind Girl is a classic example. Saying it is a logical mystery film, it doesn’t even have the most basic thing about mystery film-puzzles; saying it’s a drama film, the plot has a lot of flaws, except for the unscientific "mentally retarded plot", which has some details on some details....

      Who will you think of when darkness falls

      When I watched it, I kept asking me what you saw, why is it so horrible. Turning back and laughing. Your beloved Hepburn is acting as a blind girl. Now I met the gangster and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She nodded any lady in this situation. Be hysterical. But Hepburn Hepburn is so unsuitable for such a role. It is said that he was once nominated for an Oscar because of this, but her big eyes are motionless and not like a blind person.
      The plot design is good. If Hepburn...

      It's pretty in a purely sensory sense, the script can't be delved into, and the foreplay is quite long, but the rhythm is really good. Completely indoor drama scheduling, unfolding the plot in a tight and small space, it can be considered as a good use of the material, relax and relax, ignore the loopholes in the story, the tension is enough, the horror in the last 20 minutes is also okay, and the overall is quite grasping Human. Little Hepburn’s blind girl acted very convincingly, even if she...

      The story basically takes place in a single scene. After checking it, it is indeed a drama adaptation. The reliance and application of various details are very interesting. These criminals have done a really good job of deceiving the heroine (and bringing drama to the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film takes place almost entirely in this apartment, but the limitations of the scene just reflect the protagonist's isolation and helpless situation. The film cleverly sets up the suspense, and the music also plays a very good auxiliary role, and the ending is unforgettable. It is worth mentioning that this film is Hepburn’s fifth and final Oscar nomination. In this landmark work of Hepburn, the atmosphere of suspense is no less...
