Rosemary's Baby

Audio problem: Guy flushes the toilet as he walks through the bathroom. The toilet is actually empty and the sound is an over-dub because there is no resistance on the handle when he pushes it down. Had an old toilet like that actually been full you would see the resistance in the lever as the flapper inside rises. (00:04:45)

????

Audio problem: As she straightens up the living room, Rosemary has a delayed reaction to the over-dub of the phone ringing as they get the shocking news about Donald Baumgart. (00:33:35)

????

Audio problem: Rosemary eats some raw meet and throws up in her sink. We hear the sound of the running water but they neglected to over-dub the sound of her throwing up. (01:14:20)

????

Audio problem: As they walk together, Rosemary has a talk with Hutch about Guy's new part and she says, "suddenly he's hot" but it comes out as "suddenly he's hopt". The close captioning also reads "hot". (00:35:35)

????

Audio problem: After the party Rosemary tells Guy that she wants to go to Dr. Hill for a second opinion but explains that she doesn't want to change doctors. Guy says, "I won't let you do it Ro", but if you listen closely to what he's actually saying he calls her "Rome". (01:21:25)

????

Audio problem: Guy who is watching TV says, "It's the Pope at Yankee Stadium" and if you look at his lips he's saying something else. (00:40:55)

????

Continuity mistake: Rosemary quick fries half a piece of steak but by the time it gets from the frying pan into her plate it's a different piece without the chunk of fat attached to the side. (01:01:15)

Trivia: The director, Roman Polanski, started the trend of an actor walking into a room and then going to the left, or right, and disappearing behind a wall and the audience when they first saw this shifted to their right, or left, so they could see around the corner. I don't think the director expected this but it did happen.

Chosen answer: No, Dr. Hill was not a Satan worshiper. He was just Rosemary's first obstetrician, referred to her by a friend. However, her neighbors, the Castevettes, later convince her to instead go to their friend, Dr. Abe Sapperstein, who is a warlock.

He simply didn't believe what she told him so he called her husband to come get her.

Dr. Hill was indulging Rosemary to calm her. The detrimental effects of fear and stress are real. He never believed her claims were true, but he understood how sincere she was in her belief. He was considering becoming involved in her care until he learned the name of her obstetrician. Dr. Abraham Sapirstein was renowned in his field. Dr. Hill respected him. It would have been foolish to interfere with a patient of Dr Sapirstein. So, again, Rosemary was deceived and betrayed by a man she trusted.
