"Terence Young's thriller Wait Until Dark gets a respectable DVD release from Warner Bros. The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The film has arguably never looked better on home video. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a ten-minute featurette consisting primarily of clips from the film and Alan Arkin's recollections of it. Producer Mel Ferrer also contributes a new interview to that short. A quick essay on the different versions of the play is offered, as are a pair of trailers. Another highlight is the inclusion of a one-minute teaser trailer that includes the warning that during the last eight minutes of the picture the theater's lights will be dimmed ""to the legal limit."" This is a solid release from Warner Bros."
