A gorgeous name for a gorgeous baby, destined to become a movie fan early on. And great thoughts on Rosemary's Baby. Mia is a tragic spectacle now, but she was luminous in that haunting film from a different era. Who can forget the stark, blood-red cover line on the Time magazine Rosemary leafs through in Dr. Sapirstein's office--"Is God Dead?" That was real, the controversial April 8, 1966 issue was published to great outcry.

The new Rosem...Congratulations to the new parents!<br /><br />The new Rosemary's Baby did not go over all that well - at least not in the reviews I read online. Stretching the story to four hours and making the leads hot young Hollywood types certainly didn't draw me in.<br /><br />I want to add one name to the 1968 movie's roll call - producer William Castle - here doing a bang up job without a single promotional gimmick in sight. He also figures in a neat cameo - when Rosemary is in the phone booth - and we see what certainly appears to be conspirator doctor Ralph Bellamy outside the booth - and it is him from the back - but after a movie magic switcheroo - it turns out to be William Castle, who may have had a devilish twinkle in his eye when he created movie gimmicks like Emerg-O and Percept-O but certainly wasn't a minion of old scratch in this movie...
