I have to second this notion. I think Hepburn is excellent in the role, and if anyone has seen a lesser production of the stage version, knows that it is not an easy role to pull off.Eric wrote:Regardless of her widely accepted superiority in Two for the Road and the riotous showmanship of her obviously-oughtta-been-nominated co-star Arkin, I almost think we're to the point where Hepburn's work in Wait Until Dark is (dare I say) a teensy bit underrated.
My wife is a teacher of visually impaired students, and has always demanded that Hepburn is the best performance of a person who is blind she has seen. She gets the mannerisms and physicality down better than anyone else. I think we would both agree she is better in Two for the Road, but that doesn't make this nomination any lesser of a feat.
