Rosemary’s Baby: Hell A Cometh Swift - MusicEd921

Black and white fanedit of classic Polanski film.
Aside from the decoloring, 16 minutes were trimmed to tighten the pace.
Many of the cuts were references from the Levin book. This novel was wildly popular in its day, in a time when more people read. Older viewers may miss the cuts - younger viewers might have been puzzled by the material.
The film, by the way, works well in black and white.

Young couple move into old building they can barely afford.
The wife does not work, but hopes to get pregnant soon. Luckily the husband is a struggling actor.
They are befriended by elderly neighbors. The man, 79, is a pleasant raconteur. His wife, played by an on-fire Ruth Gordon, is a pushy, gregarious, nosy, busybody.
The narrative unfolds slowly. A sinister brownstone, smiling neighbors with dark agendas, betrayals and pacts.
Mia Farrow terrific as young wife who instinctively knows something is desperately wrong.
Classic Horror, though the pace will madden impatient souls.
Those unfamiliar with Levin’s novel might prefer the quicker tempo from faneditor MusicEd921, though they might not appreciate black and white. The original remains a must-see.
