Audrey Hepburn does a fantastic job. I read that she studied with blind people for days to help her understand their lives, fears, etc. The little girl, "Gloria" was so good, too. It was shocking when she had that tantrum and started throwing things around on the floor - I didn't expect it. She played a very valuable role later in the movie . Truly suspenseful to the very end.

The stars, the location, music, etc. I visited the location of the exterior shots of the apartment when I was in New York.

that he wrote to Audrey Hepburn years after the film was released to tell her that he had always felt guilty for his character being so mean to her.

He never got a response from her and couldn't be sure if she received his note of apology.

Bonus points to Henry Mancini, for the out-of-tune piano segments of the score. Talk about a sound that will give you chills......

The last time I decided to try to find their apartment on Google Maps since I lived in Greenwich Village and it was unfamiliar.

My favorite part is when the girl phones her and she puts two and two together.
