Terrifying and darkly comic, Rosemary's Baby marked the Hollywood debut of Roman Polanski (Repulsion). This wildly entertaining nightmare, faithfully adapted from Ira Levin's best seller, stars a revelatory Mia Farrow (Hannah and Her Sisters) as a young mother-to-be who grows increasingly suspicious that her overfriendly elderly neighbors, played by Sidney Blackmer (High Society) and an Oscar-winning Ruth Gordon (Harold and Maude), and self-involved husband (actor and filmmaker John Cassavetes) are hatching a satanic plot against her and her baby. In the decades of occult cinema Polanski's ungodly masterpiece has spawned, it's never been outdone for sheer psychological terror.

Expert Review:
Is Rosemary carrying the devil’s child? Roman Polansky’s Rosemary’s Baby based on the psychological thriller novel by Ira Levin, tries to answer that terrifying question. Featuring Mia Farrow as Rosemary, a woman who believes her husband has hatched a satanic plot with her neighbors, this work of art is a film and fashion juggernaut. As Rosemary gains independence, the hemline of her dresses shorten as does the length of her hair. The film features Farrow in bold colored dresses, Peter pan collars, and that fantastic pixie haircut created by Vidal Sassoon – encapsulating 60s style and making Farrow an icon.
