Talk:Rosemary's Baby (film)

message: July 1, 2006
Sorry -- I screwed up; I didn't realize the film had already been created.
I have taken some of my entries and added them to the original (and hopefully soon to be only existing) version.
Sorry, again!!

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Roseb6.jpg

message: I replaced a section labeled "Casting" with "Production Notes." Although statements in the original "Casting" section were referenced, few of them were substantiated by Polanski, Evans, and Sylbert in their extensive commentary on the DVD, so I removed them, since these three would know better than anyone what transpired during pre-production. (At least one of the statements I removed - "Polanski originally wanted Robert Redford to play Guy, but Redford was filming Downhill Racer (1969) at the time" - definitely is incorrect. Evans used the Downhill Racer script to lure Polanski to the project, so it couldn't have been in production.) I also added a cast list, critical reception, and awards and nominations.

message: Rosemary's Baby came out in 1968. Rotten Tomatoes came out in 1998. Is it really fair to use such a web site to judge the critical reception of this, or any, old movie? Can somebody tell me what the policy is on this?

replies: text: Rotten Tomatoes would simply have got a bunch of critics who presumably watched the movie when it came out to rate it. Even if they did ask a group of much younger 'professionals' to review it, it won't make any horrendous difference. You don't need to be someone with a PhD theisis or an individual who grew up before a movie's particular release date to give a logical and straightforward opinion on it. You were probably not around when Casablanca came out, but does that mean that your opinion on the film, having watched it all these years later, is less valid than your grandpa/great grandpa's?

message: It was quite a controversial film when it came out, especially the final Satan-worship scene.  There isn't even the word "controversy" used on the page.  Should we include this? The Person Who Is Strange 21:02, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The article suggested that Dr. Saperstein induces labor which is incorrect, Rosemary just happens to go into labor when they return to the apartment.  He does give her an injection but this is a sedative.  
The article also stated that the coven "hypnotizes" Rosemary at the end of the film, this isn't true either.  They do urge her to be a mother to her baby but there is no hypnotism involved.  207.67.97.117 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 18:10, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

message: This film uses blatant advertising.  The worst is a cigarette advertisement where the husband comes home and places 8 packages of cigarettes on the table (so that the audience can see the labels, of course).  But also, for its advertisement of Vidal Sasoon at the time.  Isn't it nice that most of the cigarette executives from the company that advertised are now dead?
Both of these "advertisements" are directly from the novel - it's doubtful that any "blatent advertising" was involved. --12.190.158.6 (talk) 21:03, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Was Marcato the second name of the Castevets also in the novel or was the name Marcato used for the first time in the film? There's possibly a connection between "marcato" and "staccato", whereby the latter happens to be the name of the eponymous TV detective played by John Cassavetes. A small hommage? Worth looking into. -The Gnome (talk) 20:08, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

message: "Polanski … was unaware that he was allowed to make changes from the source material". I find this very hard to believe. IMDB trivia is an extremely unreliable source; they'll add most things people submit without checking them. Can anyone confirm this from a better source?—Chowbok ☠ 23:45, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I've always found it very odd that certain names or sounds keep cropping up:
* Roman Castevet / Roman Polanski / Rosemary / Farrow
* Castevet / Cassevetes.
Has any commentary been made of these "coincidences"?  --  ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ [your turn] 02:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The article states that "Ruth Gordon won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, which made the film the only horror movie to receive an Oscar for a lead or supporting role until Misery in 1990." This is not true.  Frederick March won Best Actor for Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in the 1932 Awards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.48.60.9 (talk) 10:41, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Why is  Anton Szandor Lavey  mentioned in the "See also"? It is like putting "See Also  baby " just because the movie is about a pregnancy.
If it is interesting that Anton made a joke about being a consultant for this film then that fact should be included in the article text. A better link for the See Also might be to  Satanism . Cryptarch (talk) 10:49, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

message: I just wanted to make a suggestion to add in the “In Popular Culture” section that Rosemary’s Baby is also alluded to in Psych season 6 episode 11 titled “Heeeeeee’s Lassie!”, which portrays a young pregnant woman named “RoseMarie” who bears close resemblance to Rosemary and also has an actor husband.

message: Rosemary was given the tanis root pendant after she became pregnant, not before. Also, Rosemarie did not hallucinate the rape scene. It really happened to her, with all the creepy nude Satanic cult members watching. She did experience some drug-enhanced visions such as leaving Hutch (her kindly father figure protector) behind and drifting off, clearly a subconscious fear emerging. 166.181.88.197 (talk) 05:29, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Is Anton LaVey in the movie?  I've heard he is, and I've heard he isn't and the claim is a fraud.  I'm not asking just to ask, but since he was the founder of the Church of Satan, it might be appropriate to put something in the article about it.  But without knowing, I don't want to do it myself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.22.36.21 (talk) 23:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
