Imagine volunteering your wife to be raped by the Devil to boost your acting career. LOL I guess the novel answered a lot of questions the film did not. I noticed that Scrabble game that Rosemary pulls out to solve the anagram is the same game we had in the 60's. We still have the board, tiles and scoring rack but not the vinyl pouch. Just thought I'd throw that in.

I doubt very much that they gave Guy the details of the plan early on. If they did he probably wouldn't have been cooperative and they might've scared him off. I'm sure initially Roman told him something about being the leader of a very powerful group of people, who can help you advance in your career if you join us. Baumgart going blind was the 'test' to prove their power to Guy. Once that happened, he was convinced and selfishly put his own career and fame before his wife's safety. A truly slimy character indeed!

I noticed now that Guy was very nervous from the start. If he was supposed to be unaware of the coven (and I believe that to be the case) then he should have been acting a lot calmer.
When Minnie was eating the cake, she was eating a bit piggish.
When they had the party they must have had about 100 people there as they were all squashed together in that big room.
Rosemary had parents. Why did they not visit.
I think that Dr Hill may have believed Rosemary's story up until she mentioned the renowned Dr Sapirstein. -

I also noticed that when she is around 7or 8 months pregnant, she walks in a ridiculous way and its not because she is pregrant. When she attends Hutch's funeral she has the same ridiculous walk. Its like a side to and fro hopping walk. She does it also after she has the baby.

Perhaps it's because she had polio as a child.
From Wikipedia:
When she was 9, she contracted polio during an outbreak in Los Angeles reportedly affecting 500 people. She was placed in an isolation ward for three weeks and later said the experience "marked the end of my childhood".

That's hinted at in the book; Rosemary's parents didn't like GuyI think it was because he convinced her to elope instead of having a church wedding (Rosemary was raised a devout catholic).
I like looking back and catching Guy conspiring with the Castavets, for instance, when Minnie stops by on their "date night" to drop off the chocolate mousse, you can hear her mumbling to Guy, instructing him to give Rosemary the one with the almond on top of it. And the 'chalky under-taste Rosemary complains about is of course the pulverized sleeping pills Minnie put in it.
Yeah, they're dead, they'reall messed up! -

How do you know they were alive? Physically able to travel to New York?
Anyway, it is not common for a parent to call their sons/daughters every day, even when pregnant, in the United States.

Rosemary was not close with her parents. She went against the family when marrying Guy. He was a protestant and they were catholic.
At least thats what I remember from the book.

That Guy never seemed to love Rosemary. Honestly, he seemed like he just tolerated her. That "make love" scene, it looked like they were both about to have a root canal as they jump into the fourplay!
I wonder if it's because both actors just lacked chemistry or is that the way Guy was written in the book? He just always looked suspicious. And in repeat viewings, I notice it more and more.
Also, I never noticed how short the actor looks. -

You know a lot of people back then got married simply for the fact that "It was the thing to do" without ever really considering if they were truly in love. The idea of reaching your mid 30s and not be married and start to have children was unfathomable back then. So it is very possible they didn't
really
love each other.

I was always aware how Guy snatched his hand away from Rosemary's belly, but hadn't caught how he was wrenching his fingers together. It was telling how he, in an unconscious way, was saying "Man, I'm in this deep."

I always notice that too. Guy obviously knew what was growing inside her and was clearly afraid of it. When he touched her stomach to feel the "baby" it finally hit home. He pulls away with fear and repulsion as he does with Rosemary herself. He starts wearing pajamas to bed and is visibly distant with her. Guy had no strong religious beliefs and as Rosemary said was very self-centered putting his career first. Once he knows what is going on he appears very nervous and unsure of himself.

Good detail. Victoria Vetri was very good in just that one scene she had. I liked the way she said 'they picked me up off the streetliterally.' And when she was talking about Mrs. Gardenia, there was a slight pause when she said 'Shewas a good friend of the Castevets'. That pause told of the unpleasant way Mrs. Gardenia and the Castevets parted ways.
