Rosemary's Baby (DVD)

...scenario....let me explain! Are Rosemary's fears well-founded and have her and Guy allowed themselves to be befriended by a couple of elderly devil worshippers who want their baby? Or is Rosemary suffering from what the Americans call ‘post-partum crazies’? - a paranoid and delusory condition that some pregnant women can apparently suffer from. To find out whether Rosemary's fears are real, or whether it is all in her mind....or maybe something ...
...and he excels himself with Rosemary's Baby. I also believe that it was his first major cinematic undertaking. The atmosphere throughout the whole film is taut, tense and thought-provoking. There are even a couple of minor amusing pieces here and there in the film that probably won't make you laugh out loud, but will raise a smile. All of the actors in the film play their parts tremendously well, but my own particular favourite is John Cassavetes, ...

Rosemary and Guy decide that the only thing needed to complete their happiness is a baby, and she soon falls pregnant. ...
