This Is No Dream… Reel Art Press celebrates the 50th anniversary of 'Rosemary's Baby'

When Polish-born filmmaker Roman Polanski released his first American feature—the psychological horror film Rosemary's Baby—in 1968, he changed the genre forever. Starring John Cassavetes and Mia Farrow (pictured here), the film was famous not only for its Satanic / supernatural plotline, but for its hairy production issues. (Polanski went way over schedule, almost getting fired; Cassavetes and Polanski fought; Farrow's husband, Frank Sinatra, threatened to leave if she didn't quit acting to better play his wife.) Now, on the occasion of the film's fiftieth anniversary, Reel Art Press has released This Is No Dream: Making Rosemary's Baby, featuring photographs (many of which have never been published before) by veteran set photographer Bob Willoughby, alongside an insightful yet playful text by James Munn.
