[[Warner Bros.-Seven Arts]] purchased the film rights in 1966 soon after the play's Broadway premiere. The film, directed by [[Terence Young (director)|Terence Young]] with a screenplay by Robert Carrington and Jane Howard-Carrington and a score by [[Henry Mancini]], premiered on October 26, 1967. It starred [[Audrey Hepburn]], [[Alan Arkin]], [[Richard Crenna]], [[Efrem Zimbalist Jr.]], [[Jack Weston]], and Julie Herrod, and it was produced by Hepburn's then-husband [[Mel Ferrer]].

In an effort to duplicate the suspense on screen, movie theaters dimmed their lights to their legal limits, then turned off one by one until each light on-screen was shattered, resulting in the theater being plunged into complete darkness.

Hepburn was nominated for both the [[Academy Award]] and [[Golden Globe]] for Best Actress, and Zimbalist was nominated for a Golden Globe in the supporting category.

The film ranked tenth on Bravo's ''[[The 100 Scariest Movie Moments]]'' for its climactic scene, and it was ranked 55th on the list of [[AFI's 100 Years...100 Thrills|American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Thrills]].

A 1982 TV movie starred [[Katharine Ross]] and [[Stacy Keach]].

The movie was adapted into a 1986 [[Kannada]]-language movie ''[[27 Mavalli Circle]]''.
