Director Roman Polanski, actress Mia Farrow and producer Robert Evans tell the story of bringing "Rosemary's Baby" to life.
Rosemary’s Baby is the reigning champ of psychological terrors. The film finds Mia Farrow as a young mother-to-be who believes that everyone is hatching a satanic plot against her and her baby. In this documentary, director Roman Polanski, actress Mia Farrow, and producer Bob Evans battle back and forth about the inception and completion of the iconic film. This doc has it all: Frank Sinatra dissing Mia, top-secret casting wishes, and behind-the-scenes fights.

Rosemary's Baby is an example of perfect filmmaking, from set design, writing, acting, cinematography, soundtrack...just a gem. It's one of the few movies I can watch repeatedly and never get bored. I've been watching the film for at least 40 years now. I rank it as the best horror film ever made, and one of the best films of any genre, bar none.

I've watched this films more than a dozen times because each time I notice something different and fascinating. The acting is perfection, the setting and props remind me of my childhood in the 1960s. This movie is an experience, not just a film. I love the dialogue and all the NYC scenes. This is so much more than a horror film, this is a film about people, a city, the 1960s, and it is so well acted and directed. I just adore it.

I agree. I love the way Rosemary's dreams incorporate the voices she hears coming from the adjacent apartment, but they're spoken by figures in her dreams. I often fall asleep with podcasts playing in the background, and if I don't set my device to turn off automatically, it will play all night and my dreams end up filled with people speaking whatever is being said in the podcasts...
Cassavetes not being comfortable w/o his tennis shoes may have actually helped the film. You know something is off with his character. His reaction to Mia’s delight that the baby is alive is priceless : the unwillingness to touch her abdomen is spot on perfection. The nervous laugh too

I would say it's a lot more complicated than that, and there are a lot of factors here. Sure, you can bring up that argument that, if anyone argues about his innocence, they are 'sick human beings, and pedofiles themselves'. But, we call for open-mindness; what if there is more to it than anyone knows? None of you were there, so no one knows what truly happened. There are lots of shades of grey here, among the black & white...it just doesn't make sense to me, for someone to instantly assume a position, and stick to that; that is ignorance in itself. Polanski admits he likes younger girls, but says that she also joined in; why admit that he likes younger girls, but then lie that she wasn't willing? Surely you would deny it all? I just find it ridiclious that people can assume their own holy position, as if they are some highly-goodness people, who have never committed a something questionable..and to condemn others for simply speaking their minds.. So, I ask you; were you there? Do you know exactly what happened? Did you see it? Or is this what you have simply heard off newspapers.. and from other people? I thought that people only believed things if they have seen it; aren't fairytales like the tooth fairy, and Santa, unreal because no one has seen them? Yet, people don't need to see something like an apparent 'crime' to know that they are 100% right, but children are condemned for believing in Santa, even though they have not seen him/her, yet, adults can safely assume that something is truthful, that it is simply it, and there are no other possible questions, even though they have not seen it for themselves. What on earth is going on with mankind?

I remember watching it at night . Man the ending was so creepy i got chills.
Just love Romans total emotional in olvment in the shots we see of him especially directing Mia. Hes right THERE, almost like an empathetic magician,telling a story par excellence, guiding his actors to make the best choices for the story , and co trolling the camera like a voyeur, the visual, enotional response of us. Those are the best kind of directors. Spiegebergs one too. Brilliant artist.
I've watched this movie untold times. It's like a puzzle you put the pieces together to see the whole.picture. Acting was superb by all and best horror pic still today to me.
This film is and always will be my absolute FAVE..a brilliant masterpiece from the behind the cameras and the actors it just OOZES with character and talent. Timeless.
Love Mia Farrow as an actress, Polanski talented director, good script, cinematography, book rendered faithfully, movie scary as hell. Ruth Gordon outstanding , as per usual. Watch it again: still stands up. Just enough humour to keep it light & entertaining within the genre.

Wait a second. What Mia Farrow said about the phone booth scene is true. It was very clever, but she is either mistaken or simply not want to reveal Polanski's trick when she says that it was William Castle. There were two shots. The first one was with Ralph Bellamy; that is why we think that the character is Dr. Saperstein. But then they put William Castle in there, and once you watch it a couple times repeatedly, you can see by just looking at the back of the head that it was two different people - it's either that or they did something to the back of Castle's head, perhaps groomed his hair or made him wear some kind of wig or netting to make it look like the back of Ralph Bellamy's head.

A great description of the work on the film, but unfortunately a very important detail was omitted. Every detail of the film was wonderfully planned by Roman Polanski, who knew from the very beginning that there was only one person who could help him create something great. This detail is the main musical theme of the film, created by Krzysztof Komeda. The music significantly enhanced a great movie.

I believe this movie is one of the most psychologically terrifying films that I have ever seen. I was born in 1967 so it was really fascinating to see what the fashions were and what life was like back then.
Truly a classic movie. The acting performances, the direction, the sets, the whole eeriness and unsettling feeling. I was 12 when my parents took us to see it in the theater! I’m sure they didn’t have a clue beforehand what it was about. But they were too transfixed to leave! It’s probably the greatest horror movie because there’s no obvious horror - no blood, no heads chopped off, no witches flying around - it’s all subconscious. It plays with your head. It was absolutely the right choice to NOT show the baby. That would’ve ruined it. The book gives a better explanation of what the baby looks like, but the film just shows Rosemary’s reaction to him, and to the whole evil enterprise.

I agree with you on that. Mia Farrow was so mesmerising in this film I couldn't stop looking at her. She played the part of Rosemary so well, a naive young bride completely in love with her husband. There were so many chilling moments. The moment she saw her reflection devouring the raw liver..gruesome! and when she was trying to tell the doctor about the satanic neighbours and begging him to protect her..then him turning her over to Guy..I was screaming inside for someone to believe her! A brilliant film and cast certainly up there with the greats.
Good clip, uprated, shared. The Dakota was, indeed, pretty impressive as a locale.

Every detail drew you in. The best part is that Polanski left enough to our imaginations that it was a great spooky movie, without blood, guts, slicing, dicing, moving beds, and green pea soup.

FACTS: As for the "drugging" unproven because no toxicology tests were taken. According to THREE eyewitnesses, Samantha Geimer was NOT drunk nor under the influence of drugs. THREE eyewitnesses did testify that Samantha acted like his lover. THREE eyewitnesses said she was acting entitled and pissed off when the encounter was interrupted. Bryan Singer has been proven innocent by the credit card receipts his lawyer produced to show Singer was in Canada filming "X-Men" when Michael Egan claimed he sexually assaulted him. Singer cannot be in two places at the same time. Stephen Collins never hurt anyone. He merely flashed himself. Never touched, nor sexually assaulted. Only flashed. Hardly a crime, yet he's lost his livelihood due do a vindictive wife who had been through six lawyers and a judge who was constantly telling her she was not entitled to the things she believed she was. She lied on her depositions claiming she "gave up her career to help Stephen with his." One only has to look at her IMDB page and note that during the years she claimed she did not act, she clearly had at least no less than a dozen credits to her name. So she lied, then when it looked like the judge was going to penalize her for her actions, she illegally recorded a therapy session where the therapist was under obligation to divulge to the police if she felt Collins was a threat to anyone, including himself. However, she did not. The recording was released because of a scorned wife. In the final divorce judgement, the judge found Faye Grant in contempt and told her she was not entitled to more than the sale of the house and that she "should not gain financially due to her actions." It always amazes me how people like you want to paint with as broad a brush as you like, but you don't believe you have to do your own research to back up your claims.... Everything you say is the truth. You all sound like Trump on a Tweeting tirade. Neither of you want to take responsibility for your erroneous statements.

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ROSEMARY'S BABY AND THE SHINING: 1. A young couple moves into a building with a notorious reputation. 2. The buildings are both secretly under the control of a sinister cult of some kind (the witch cult, the ghost cult). 3. In both stories the husband joins the paranormal element in the building and betrays his wife. 4. In both stories the little boy is the focal point of the paranormal events. 5. In both stories the husband is trying to make it in the entertainment industry (Guy wants to be a star actor, Jack wants to be a star writer). 6. In both stories the building has a recent suicide of a previous tenant (in Rosemary's Baby Terry commits suicide, in The Shining Grady commits suicide. 7. In both stories the young couple is warned beforehand by an older wiser man about moving in (in Rosemary's Baby, Hutch warns the couple, in the Shining, Halloran sort of warns the Torrances about moving into The Overlook). 8. In both stories the wife figures out what's going on and becomes suspicous of her husband. 9. In both stories the wife character is depicted as very naive and easily taken advantage of.

These New Hollywood-era (1968-1980) stories are like catnip to me. Also, god bless Mia Farrow, what a class act she’s been throughout her entire performing career, between being Mrs Frank Sinatra, then being with Woody Allen (that’s its own can of worms, marrying his step daughter who he is still faithfully with decades later, even though it was weird overall). And as controversial as Polanski is, and how unredeemable his past action with a minor was, but between escaping the Nazis in Europe, having his wife and unborn child slaughtered ruthlessly in cold blood via Manson family, there is still no denying his obvious talent for storytelling through cinema. Hopefully he has grown to see the error of his past and has sought to make right since that debacle. All in all, Rosemary’s Baby is a timeless cinematic classic, and this was an informative and entertaining feature on the matter!

I miss this film clarifications regarding the music. Music played in the film one of the primary roles. Form Krzysztof Komeda and his character was important. Polanski took music coincidence. Komeda always created music for films Polanski until his death (he died at 38 years old)

Polanski’s most amazing set was the castle in “The Fearless Vampire Killers”. The attention to detail and the panorama was absolutely extraordinary, I thought that he filmed it in a real castle, but it was all shot in a studio. There is very little information on the creation of this set, I wish he would discuss it. Maybe I’ll write him a letter.

To me it was refreshing to hear the principles in this movie give credit to the other “unsung” players that are in each movie. The art director, costume, scenic director, editor, etc are called out individually by Evans, Polanski, Mia Farrow for their accomplishments in making this one of the best horror movies ever made. The egos are such in Hollywood is that everything is about them, not so in this movie. Every person did an outstanding job. Even down to the movie poster. 3 Words and a simple image took control of your imagination. One of the best movies ever made with a cast that could not be equaled today or then. Bravo to everyone involved.

She was an adequate actress, and little more than that. Professional (thanks to her parents, I assume). But Great she was only once-- in Rosemary's Baby. Not even her Woody Allen roles impressed me. I wonder if - conspiracy theory alert - Polanski didn't make a deal with the Devil... what he got out of Mia was almost supernatural!
There was a clever error. The Scrabble tiles did not spell out the name of the book, which was supposed to warn Rosemary she was being controlled by witches. However, we were all so horrified by what she might discover, that it went for the most part totally unnoticed, just as Polanski knew it would.

Notice in the movie at beginning, a death in front of the building, near where John Lennon died. The chapter in the book Rosemary reads, "Prudence" Mia's sister's name who both joined the Beatles in India, hence "Dear Prudence". Polanski's pregnant wife Sharon Tate murdered by Manson and Manson occasionally hung out at Doris Day's son's house, along with some of the Beach Boys (they recorded one of Manson's songs) as well as John Lennon. Strange happenings went on Laurel Canyon, Ca. Most of those hanging out like Crosby, Stills, Zappa, Joni Mitchel, Mamas & Papas, and many, many others all had parents in very high military intelligence, CI.A., defense industry, etc. While Jim Morrison didn't really hang with that crowd he did often rent a bungalow behind the Laurel Canyon General store where all of them frequented. That inspired The Doors song "Love Street". Oh, yeah and Morrison's Dad was the Navy Admiral who commanded the fleet in the gulf which ignited the Viet Nam war. Lastly, the military had a complete Hollywood soundstage underground in Laurel Canyon often used to creatate propaganda films.
