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. I had a female friend in college who thought Mia was exceptionally lovely in RB. It was interesting because by that time I had already seen the movie 20 times and I had never been struck by this before. Now, every time I watch the movie, I notice that there really is something quite lovely and doe-like about Farrow. Pauline Kael said that rarely had a role been better cast. She is just sooooo vulnerable. And John Cassavetes is a snake in the grass. I wonder if Rosemary divorced Guy afterwards? lol |
