    And by the way, going strictly by the film, isn't Guy Woodhouse EXACTLY the kind of smart-ass who would pretend to go along with Roman's plans just for a joke. Really, who would believe that Roman and Minnie were evil in the flesh. Yet Roman is the most henpecked Satanist ever. "Honestly, sometimes I wonder how you got to be the leader of anything!" we hear her breathe her husband through the wall.
    And Guy freaks when the other actor goes blind suddenly and dramatically. He doesn't get sick or get involved I a car wreck or beaten by muggers. He just wakes up blind. I doubt it even Pope Francis sees that kind of turn-around time in his prayers.
    When Guy tries to back out, Roman reminds him that what happened to Terri could happen to both Rosemary and Guy.
    And he also tells Guy not to tell Rosemary or she would get rid of the kid before she saw it and her maternal instincts.kick.in.
    And Guy does love Rosemary. He puts up with her constant lists of his theater experience, almost like she's ashamed he isn't well known. On the worst day of his Broadway career, getting rejected, is he angry? No. Does he yell? No. Does he take it out on Rosemary?. No. He is just sad. He even goes to dinner with the Castavets as his good deed. Going.just by the movie he really loves her.
    And that is all I am doing. We never.get.ti hear what is said when Rosemary is not around. We only know what is coming .

    Of course I could be completely wrong. Since Mia Farrow is wisely in every scene we have no idea about Guy. Another testimony to Roman Polanski is his direction of Farrow. Was she ever this good for even Woody? And in interviews she gives all credit to Polanski. I know the book describes Rosemary as this Anna Nicole Smith type of big strapping voluptuous farm girl blonde who ends up looking like a survivor of Ravensbruck but I think that was beyond mortal ability. The only other times I really laughed like a hyena was in the 90s, when she started going on David Letterman and appearing in his sketches after Teri Garr got sick. Letterman was always doing these fake interviews and documentaries about his own life and would introduce Farrow as his wife of 25 years, which she would quietly but very firmly deny, with great comic timing.
    She was very good in some of Woody's films but she was GREAT as Rosemary and the woman David Letterman wanted to be married to.
    In one sketch, Letterman egged her into the shower while he pretended to film it, and she kept screaming I Hate You! I Hate You! as she did it, and it reminded me of Polanski egging her out into the Manhattan traffic while he filmed it, saying Don't worry! Don't worry!
    I do know that Redford and Beatty turned down the role of Guy because they knew AMERICA would hate them.

    And Polanski did this with not one supernatural act and only a quick glimpse of blood. And this movie punches women in the face and calls it a kiss and you're crazy if you think it is not a kiss.
    That is why women find this the most horrifying thing they have ever seen.

    Until Donald Trump's Supreme Court, THIS was THE horror movie for women. Hands down, no doubt, absolutely soul-shattering worst nightmare for All women. Men do not get to even judge.

    Sorry. Commenting as you speak. 1968 was the grind house classic Night...Living Dead, which was as gory as you wanted. And up to 1968, there was The Wizard of GORE and all the Bert I. Gordon movies with tons of unbelievabe and ultimately laughable gory shenaniga.
    So Polanski could have gone as gory as he wanted. Terri on the pavement is proof of that.
    But the way the picture looks is pure romantic Neil simon
    Gore would cheaps .

      Don't worry, Night of the Living Dead is going to be discussed at SOME point on the pod. A little tidbit of information, it was when Andrew first saw Dawn of the Dead when he was a teenager that sparked him to want to make movies. Dawn of the Dead is still one of his all time favourite films. George Romero is the GOAT.
