OTD in 1968: Roman Polanski released 'Rosemary's Baby'

Following Rosemary's Baby's release on June 11, 1968, The New York Times' Renata Adler wrote, “Miss Farrow is quite marvelous, pale, suffering, almost constantly on-screen in a difficult role that requires her to be learning for almost two hours what the audience has guessed from the start.” Kathleen Carroll of The New York Daily News added, “Miss Farrow’s special magic is her fragility. She reminds one of a fawn in captivity. What she does so remarkably well is draw sympathy to Rosemary who is herself a captive fawn, a totally helpless heroine surrounded by evil on all sides with no way out. Everyone in the audience will want desperately to help her.” Go way behind the scenes of Roman Polanski's horror masterpiece with Reel Art Press' fiftieth-anniversary in-depth study, This Is No Dream: Making Rosemary's Baby, featuring photographs by Bob Willoughby and text by James Munn.
