Similar films?

This might be a longshot, but can anyone think of a similar film to Wait Until Dark? All I remember is that it was black and white, so it must've been a film from the early 60's or sometime in the 50's), and had a similar plot (a woman alone at home being terrorized by a burglar or burglars...she wasn't blind though). I can't remember who directed it, who starred in it, I've only seen the first few minutes of the film, but i remember it being very atmospheric and noirish, with rainy streets and the whole deal.

Barring a miracle that somebody might actually know which film I'm talking about, does anyone have any other suggestions for similar films to this one in the same time period (60's and before)?

I know I'm very delayed in this response, but I just watched Wait Until Dark for the first time in ten years this evening and thought I'd check out its IMDB page.

Are you thinking of Sorry, Wrong Number?

I can't remember all the details of that movie, however it was in black and white and it dealt with a woman by herself at home.
The woman was an invalid and I believe she was listening to a murder plot on the phone. Don't want to give away too much, but that's the only movie that I can think of with the information you've given.

I hope that helps!

Don Siegel's "The Lineup" (1958) which this writer enjoyed much more than "Wait Until Dark"
