I have only seen PP once. Will need to revisit. Have it on vhs.
Yes, I think Lange was the best choice and she perhaps has a stronger screen presence and charisma than Weld. Not to undermine Weld's own talent. Weld was apparently Polanski's choice for Rosemary, alongside Robert Redford. I don't think either of them were keen to do the film.
Yeah, I remember reading that. Which is funny because rarely has a movie been better cast. John Cassavetes oozes a slimy narcissism, and Mia Farrow is the epitome of a spooky feyness. And, of course, Ruth Gordon is deliciously sinister. Robert Redford. I don't mind him, though he could go on the list of expressionless actors. His blonde good looks did nothing for me, though I could see why the ladies went for him. He did not seem conceited, unlike his dark-haired peer, Warren Beatty, who is also quite bland. While I would be keen to see a Rosmary with a Weld and Redford, they were 2 All American Beauties in the looks department and Farrow and Cassavetes were more of an unique and less attractive coupling which I suppose worked in better with the off-kilter tone of the film.
