    An interesting fact about this film: the voice of Donald Baumgart (the actor who went blind) on the phone was none other than the great Tony Curtis, who was a friend of Mia Farrow, but they didn't tell her who she would be talking to on the phone. So Mia's confused reaction is a result of her recognizing but not quite knowing the voice she's hearing.

    The film follows the novel almost exactly and the film is immeasurably eerie. Mia Farrow's performance as Rosemary is beyond good. When I watch it now though having seen it many times, I study how the director uses space and the placement of characters to establish the growing horrific entanglement Rosemary is in. Its subtle camera work seems naturalistic just about a couple moving into an old apartment and their nosy neighbors, but then you begin to see how the visuals start to emphasize a power struggle between innocence and malignancy.

    You are one of the few youtubers who have reacted to this movie and appreciated it. Roman Polanski did a magnificent job of engulfing the audience in the same paranoia that Rosemary gradually experiences throughout the plot. This is the second film in Polanski's horror trilogy whose stories take place in apartments. The other two are Repulsion (1965) and Le Locataire (1976). Hope you can check them too.

    In 1976, there was a TV movie sequel, titled LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY'S BABY, which picks up 8 years after the first film. We learn that Guy took off for a successful career in Hollywood, while Rosemary and Adrian stayed behind with the coven. Rosemary (played by Patty Duke) absconds with the boy prior to his 8th birthday party in an effort to prevent the coven from performing some sort of ritual on him
    .
    It's been year since the viewed the film, so most of the details are fuzzy ... somehow a hooker played by Tina Louise (Ginger from Gilligan's Island) offers them shelter, then somehow convinces Rosemary to hide out in an abandoned bus. Suddenly, the bus powers up and takes off (without a driver) and we never learn of Rosemary's fate.
    The film then skips ahead to show a now adult Adrian, going by the name Andrew, being a trouble maker with the local police ... and honestly, the rest of the film was so boring, I can't even recall how it ends.
    The film was poorly written but Patty Duke's (brief) screen time and the return of Ruth Gordon as Minnie Castevet are about the only things making this dud of celluloid worth watching at all.
    = = = = = = = = = =
    Ira Levin, the author of the ROSEMARY'S BABY novel, published a sequel novel in 1997, titled SON OF ROSEMARY, which completely ignores the event of the 1976 TV movie, and serves as a direct sequel to the original film.
    It is reveled that the year is now 1999 and Adrian is a world famous new age spiritual guru. The coven had placed a spell over Rosemary in 1973, putting her in a coma to prevent her from running off with Adrian. As the novel beings, she has awakened upon the death of the last member of the coven.
    After being reunited with Adrian, she herself becomes a celebrity of sorts, all the while, Adrian attempts to reassure her that he's rejected the coven's evil influence and wants to bring spiritual enlightenment to the world.
    There are a few odd interactions between Rosemary and Andy (bordering on incest) and on new year's eve, a deadly virus is unleased upon the planet and Satan emerges to drag Rosemary to Hell. She then wakes up to find herself 33 years in the past (prior to getting pregnant), laying in bed next to Guy at their apartment in the Bramford building. It's left up to the reader to decide if Rosemary simply dreamt the events of the 1967 and 1997 novels or had actually experienced a premonition of future events.

    I wrote a huge comment and just as a posted it, my internet went out and it was lost forever! You dodged a bullet having to read all that stuff! I was so pissed off I went right to bed! Now, having woken up, just letting you know: fantastic reaction (the PROPER reaction!) to "Rosemary's Baby". Just to let you know: in real life, John Cassavettes (who played Guy) was a great husband! And a legendary , groundbreaking director in his own right. Not sure how his movies would be for a reaction video, but he's a hugely influential director (and great actor). He was married to (actress) Gena Rowlands from the 50s until his death in the 80s, and she has never stopped holding the flame for him. She's 92 now, and when she goes, EVERYONE is going to say: "Now she's with John, at last." But man oh man, what a total creep of a character! ALSO: Ruth Gordon, who plays the neighbor: what a life, she had been an actress but also a screenwriter and playwright since 1915! "Rosemary's Baby" gave her a whole second life, and she was in many movies after that. Go look up interviews with her, she's a total character! A total Queen.....in a time when it was hard to be one! As far as what I love about this movie: EVERYTHING. When I first saw it, I was way too young and all I could think was "Where's the baby? I want to see the baby!" Now, of course, I think it's way better they don't show it. Maybe they should have called it "Rosemary's Pregnancy", but that doesn't have the same ring to it!

    My mother saw this movie during its original theatrical run in 1968, when she was recently married and trying to become pregnant. Naturally, she found it especially terrifying. 😱
    Good analysis on your part. I agree that the deeper horror comes from the way Rosemary is so totally trapped, even if she does escape from the apartment she'll probably just be sent back to the "care" of her husband and doctor. And back in 1968, the laws and society in general gave women much less autonomy than men. In many US states, a married woman had no right to her own property (it belonged automatically to her husband) and decisions about a pregnant woman's healthcare would usually be made by her doctor in consultation with her husband, with little or no input from the woman herself. So Rosemary would have been even more isolated back then than a woman in her situation would be today. Anyway, thanks for the video, I enjoy your reactions and analysis.

    It might be time to view Roman Polanski's first feature film: Knife in the Water (1962). It's in Polish. No one has dubbed it, which is all to the good, I think. There are only three characters. Only one of the characters is played by a professional actor (Leon Niemczyk, renowned in Poland for decades); the other two are people Polanski saw and talked into being in the movie.

    "He chose you, honey! From all the women in the world to be the mother of his only living son!"
    Fun Fact: Mia Farrow does the vocals on the title-sequence lullaby.
    Real Acting Fact: According to Mia Farrow, the scenes where Rosemary walks in front of traffic were spontaneous and genuine. (SOB Fugitive Director) is reported to have told her that "nobody will hit a pregnant woman" before filming. The scene was successfully shot with Farrow walking into real traffic and (SOB Fugitive Director) following, operating the hand-held camera since he was the only one willing to do it.
    Hot Take Fact: Many scenes are shot in one continuous unbroken take or with minimal cuts in an unnoticeable way, such as the opening scene where Rosemary and Guy first tour their apartment (two cuts), the laundry room scene (only one cut), the "let's have a baby" scene, the New Year's Eve party, Rosemary's and Guy's argument after their party, Rosemary's getting the unfortunate phone call about Hutch, the final scene at Dr. Sapirstein's office where she tells him of Adrian Marcato, Rosemary's phone call with Baumgard, and the famous phone booth scene.

    Another one of those I've just known the twist simply because pop culture. It's nice these movies are not so "trendy" now, so now people can simply not have spoilers all over the place. Checking it out again like last year, the whole dream sequence felt like it was spelling the twist out too hard. To be fair, I can't tell if it's because the scene was too much or because I've just seen too much stuff since. Maybe it worked perfectly fine when it came out, but these days, with just about every scary thing happening in movies, you just guess the twist right away.
    And if I am to recommend anything else Polanski, it would have to be "The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck". With a title like that you can already guess what you're in for, but it's really the two main characters that are the "goofy" part, everything else is played straight and I just love the sets. I don't know if they shot on location in some castle, but if not, it sure feels like it.

He starred in 'A Woman Under the Influence' in trade for John Cassavetes co-starring in Falk's TV show 'Columbo'. Cassavetes was the murderer...in a show that was movie length (Étude in Black). Now if I was going to recommend a John Cassavetes 'film' and slyly get you to watch a little Columbo...that would work. Columbo is weirdly charming. And no, it's not Sri Lanka Colombo.

    If you read the book & then rewatch this it's even more disturbing. Eerie coincidence that Roman Polanski's pregnanr wife Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson family the year after this was released. Kirby Sommers has a video about the backstory of the book & movie that is scarier than the movie. The exterior shots of the apartment building were in front of the Dakotah apt building which has a notorious reputation. John Lennon was shot outside of it just a few years later ; i wonder if it was the same spot Terri landed....haha. The man that played Satan was Anton Lavay, the founder of the church of Satan.

    Never read the book, but author Ira Levin was a master at urban and suburban young-adult angst. This film examines the urban side, including fears about new-motherhood, young adulting, eccentric neighbors, etc. You might like the movie based on his "Stepford Wives" novel, which takes the anxiety to the ritzy Connecticut suburbs (New York City's bedroom community for the very wealthy). Can't say much without giving the big twists away, but it explores similar themes: more creepy neighbors, suburban anxieties that were a big thing as people fled cities in the '60s and '70s, and a feminist sensibility concerning what women----particularly housewives---want out of life, which was a big question being asked at the time (1970s----avoid the crappy remake from circa 2000).

    As Promised, I came back to finish what "surprisingly little" I'd missed earlier. I reckon this one is going right on-to your "Not Rewatchable" tier! (LOL) Sorry again for bailing before The End, I hate when Premiere times overlap; when I got into the other show, everyone in the Chat was like "Hey Tom, what took you so long!?!" I have gotten to be a popular guy online lately...😊 I'll See You next week..!

    I loved your reactions to RB. But for the wrong reasons...
    Don't compare this movie with similar horror flics. Till this day, Roman Polanski's film is totally unique, and absolute brilliantly directed and edited and scored and acted. Mia Farrow in particular, she was up to that point a marginal actress, famous only for her role in the TV soap Peyton Place. But what she did here, was PHENOMENAL.
    Thanks for the upload. ☺

  • @god_first_self_last1416

    You're wrong, they don't think she's going to have a 'hanger abortion' or something. They know she wants the baby, they know she thinks they are going to do something to the baby. It is us the viewers who know that Guy is not the father. Rosemary believes Guy is the father, but promised them the baby so he can further his career. She really was going into labor, probably because of the stress. BTW, even though the baby did turn out to be the devil's baby, I do not think Guy promised them a 'devil baby'. He promised them that they would let them impregnate her during one of their rituals (happened the night she ate some of the chocolate mouse).

    Here's some weird facts regarding this movie. It was directed by Roman Polanski who was married to Sharon Tate. Sharon Tate was murdered by a cult (Manson family) who's leader was obsessed with the Beatles. Leader of the Beatles, John Lennon, lived in the Dakota building where this film was made. John Lennon was murdered outside the Dakota.

    To understand this movie, you have to understand the 70s. I was a kid then, but I definately remember that people neither had boundaries nor respected them in others.
    If people imposed, you said nothing for fear of being rude. You wouldn't believe what people put up with socially!
    Secondly, this movie accurately shows how women were treated disrespectfully. They were routinely dismissed, gaslit, treated like children. Its crazy, but not long ago, women couldn't have their own bank account without their husband, or father's permission. Women were generally considered functionally stupid, and husbands assumed a daddy role.
    This movie has a feminist theme, which is odd considering the director (also named Roman) raped a 13 year old girl and then ran to France to avoid prison. Talk about mixed messages.
    Fun Fact: The apartment is in a building called The Dakota. Its a huge, errie but beautiful building. John Lennon lived there when he was shot.
    Thank you for saying figuratively instead of literally, as so many people do! 😊

  • @god_first_self_last1416

    Even though I hate what happened to Rosemary this is one of my favorite movies. BTW your connecting this to being in a cult is right on target. I used to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, every paet of your life is controlled by the cult, and even though many people on the outside agree it's a cult, most people do not know and wouldn't believe you if you tell them how bad it really is.

    Roman Polanki’s wife, Sharon Tate, a famous actress, who was pregnant, was murdered by the Manson Family, and this movie is his reaction to that.

      Sharon was killed in 1969, so it’s after this film was released. But definitely the masterpiece Chinatown could be considered his reaction. It’s extremely dark.

    I am not a fan of supernatural films because I simply don't believe in it. For example, I was never scared by The Exorcist because I don't believe that there are demons, I don't believe there ever have been any, and I don't believe anybody has ever been possessed. I just thought The Exorcist was kinda stupid. I LOVE this movie, though, because there's enough ambiguity for my natural interpretation from the first time I saw it: the baby isn't REALLY the son of satan. Just because a cult of whackos believe they've accomplished this doesn't mean it's really true. What they've done by feeding pregnant Rosemary those "special herbs" is to damage the developing fetus and produce a deformed child that's really otherwise a normal human baby. Her husband Guy is really the father, and he is the one who raped her in the ceremony (remember the scene where Guy's face morphs into satan's). So, at the end when Rosemary is looking lovingly at her baby, perhaps she knows this and has not given up hope that her child is good. Call me an optimist.
