Reminders of other films (Spoilers)


"Wait Until Dark" has many moments that reminded me of other films. Here are a few of them:

1. The "To Kill a Mockingbird" moment, when Gloria spots Susy behind the door (of the fridge).

2. As in "Rear Window", there is a protagonist with a disability confined to a small space, the importance of light in the plot, the photographic element.

3. The precious child element that is common to many films, including "The Bad Seed" and "Strangers on a Train."

Roat's entrance in the doorway is also reminiscent of Ivor Novello's in Hitchcock's THE LODGER.
