This 1967 thriller draws its effectiveness less from the intelligence of the direction (by Terence Young) than from the unbridled sadism of the concept: Audrey Hepburn is a blind woman in unknowing possession of a doll stuffed with pure heroin. Alone in her New York apartment, she’s terrorized by a gang of thugs that includes slobbering psycho Alan Arkin and smooth-talking Richard Crenna. With Jack Weston and Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
