OST: Wait Until Dark (1967)

"If you thought the musical relationship between Henry Mancini and Audrey Hepburn was all champagne kisses and caviar dreams, then you haven’t heard his utterly creepy score for WAIT UNTIL DARK."


Mancini's score helped to make the movie, Wait Until Dark, the successful, suspense thriller that it was. For the main theme, Mancini used 2 pianos, one of which was slightly off key, to produce results that were out of kilter enough for a surreal edge without completely loosing touch with reality (the dialog has been taken out). It works; just try going about an average day while this score is playing in the background. It's eerie. Enjoy!
