Saw a black and white movie on TBS in early morning hours in 1981. Guy with an eye patch holding a woman hostage in an apt that was sub ground. Looking out of the window she saw people's legs walking by. Anybody ever see it?

Answer: The movie is "Something Wild," 1961. Carroll Baker plays a young woman who is raped. Feeling ashamed, she doesn't go to the police or the hospital. Later, she learns she's pregnant. Distraught, she tries to commit suicide by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. Ralph Meeker plays a blue-collar mechanic who stops her, taking her to his sub-ground apt. He refuses to let her go until she gets rid of her suicidal thoughts. At first, she is antagonistic towards him, injuring his eye. As time goes on, she accepts her situation and realizes that Ralph loves her and she loves him.
