June 12, 1968 –
Roman Polanksi’s horror classic Rosemary’s Baby, starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, Maurice Evans, Ralph Bellamy, Patsy Kelly, Angela Dorian, and Charles Grodin opened on this date.
Ira Levin felt that this film is “the single most faithful adaptation of a novel ever to come out of Hollywood.” William Castle speculated the reasons for this were because it was the first time Roman Polanski had ever adapted another writer’s work, unaware he had the freedom to improvise on the book.
