Damn! If only Redford had played him! This might have been his big break! Instead, he had to wait another year for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!
Seriously though, I'm having a hard time picturing him and Mia Farrow as a couple.
Maybe it's because I'm use to Cassavetes.
This is another one that is on my October watch list. Another is The Stepford Wives. The original from the mid 70s. Both are by Ira Levin.

It would have been better if Rosemary had tried to rely more on that.
"Chicken soup - with a beep straw."

I think her goal was to get checked into a hospital and additionally she was scared that Saperstein, Minnie and Roman had potentially done harm to the baby with their cakes and vitamin drinks. So I think in her mind she needed a doctor right away.
