for shipping costs, and I believe all copies available for sale are on DVD.
You can also watch (until and if it gets removed for copyright reasons) Rosemary?sBaby on YouTube. It appears in 14 clips, each lasting approximately 10mins. I?ve found the best way of locating these clips is to open the YouTube home page, and type the words ?Mia Farrow Rosemary?sBaby? into the search pane, then scroll down. The first available clip currently appears to be part 14, but if you load that then immediately click the stop button on the YouTube media player, part 1 and onwards should appear to the right-hand side of the play screen.
Thanks for reading!

Scarface is my all-time favorite film, Starring Al Pacino as gangland mobster Tony Montana. His rise from the rough streets of Cuba to the top of Miami's drug fuelled empire. Tony Montana wanted it all wealth, power and control, he was living this life, which they call the American Dream.
This film is surely a true great. It's greed for wealthness would make you envious. There's always a saying for people like Tony, ' the person that wants too much from life, risk ...

The Story
The film starts in 1917 and 'Baby Jane' Hudson is the star of a show, singing and dancing a real creepy annoying song. The audience love her and she is a great hit, there are even life-size dolls of her on sale in the foyer. After the show it is apparent that Baby Jane is a spoilt brat, she shouts at her father to get her icecream pointing out she can get whatever she wants because she's the one earning all the money. The father easily submits and when the other daughter Blanche says she doesn't want any icecream he snaps at her making her cry and clearly showing who his favourite is. Blanche runs off crying and her mother makes her promise that in the future if evfer things turn around she won't be as cruel to Jane as Jane is to her.
The the plot moves on again. It's now 1935 or so and Blanche Hudson is now the star ...

"...It's surely among the three or four greatest horror films ever made..." -- 5 out of 5 stars - One For The Library (Premiere, pp.105-107, 01/11/2000)
DVD Description
In Roman Polanski's stylish occult thriller--possibly the director's most famous film and a big box-office success--a young, happily married couple, the waiflike Rosemary (Mia Farrow) and struggling actor Guy (John Cassavetes), move into a spacious apartment in a venerable old building off Central Park. They are befriended by the elderly couple next door, Roman (Sidney Blackmer) and Minnie Castavet (Ruth Gordon in an Oscar-winning performance), who seem to take a special interest in Rosemary's well-being. Shortly after another young woman in the building commits suicide by jumping out a window, Rosemary begins to be plagued by disturbing dreams, including a hallucinogenic black mass sequence in which she is raped by something "inhuman" while surrounded by a host of unlikely spectators. Rosemary discovers she is pregnant and soon falls violently ill. The Castavets offer advice and home remedies and even go so far as to talk her into seeing a new doctor of their choosing. But when the young couple's friend Hutch (Maurice Evans) exposes her eccentric but seemingly well-meaning neighbors as members of a witches' coven, Rosemary realizes that she is the victim of a Satanic conspiracy and that no one can be trusted--not even her own husband.
