Hooray, it's another Wait Until Dark! Audrey Hepburn stars in another thriller, where three men are out to get her, and she has to unsuspectingly save herself and her fortune. This one isn't as good, though, but if you like to see an older Audrey defending herself, you can put the kids to bed and watch this one. A recurrent side plot of the film is the dirty business-no pun intended-of making snuff films. If you don't know what those are, don't research them and don't rent this movie.
Audrey's mogul dad dies at the start of the movie, and she finds herself a target because of her stock in the corporation. Ben Gazzara, James Mason, and Omar Sharif all stand to gain if she relinquishes her inheritance. Which one is behind the threats? Well, with two veteran villains among the suspects, it's a toss-up between Ben and James, so you'll be on the edge of your seat until the end.
Omar Sharif serves at the much-needed comic relief, believe it or not, and his scenes were my favorites in the movie. He has three daughters with his wife, and three sons with his mistress, and while he juggles both families, his mistress constantly threatens to expose his second to his first. Unless you like seeing how everyone aged, though, you might want to just rent movies where they're younger. The few funny scenes Omar has doesn't really make the entire movie worth it.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to nudity, violence, and graphic sex scenes, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
