All about Rosemary’s Baby
Based on the horror novel Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin, Roman Polanski’s classic 1968 horror film starred Mia Farrow as Rosemary Woodhouse, a newlywed living in Manhattan with her husband Guy (John Cassavetes). Rosemary becomes pregnant and her elderly neighbours Minnie and Roman Castevet (Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer) take her under their wing. But Rosemary soon begins to suspect that they are members of a Satanic cult who want to use her baby for their own ends. The film was a major box-office hit, grossing more than $33 million worldwide and winning numerous awards. It was filmed at the Dakota building in New York, outside which John Lennon was shot and killed in 1980.
