Continuity mistake: As she sits waiting for Dr. Sapirstein, Rosemary picks up a TIME Magazine with the cover story "Is God Dead" (April 8,1966) which has a red border and white lettering on top. In the next shot if you look very closely she's reading another magazine that has a red border and yellow lettering. (01:40:40)
Continuity mistake: When we first see her sitting in Doctor Hill's office, Rosemary does not have the white pocketbook beside her on the chair. Later as she reaches down to open her suitcase, the pocketbook appears on the chair. (01:46:45)
Continuity mistake: There's no indication that Rosemary has been reading or even opened up her suitcase while she went from Dr. Sapirstein's office to Dr. Hill, but when she packed her suitcase the red book was on top, now in Doctor Hill's office she opens the suitcase and the red book is on the bottom. (01:47:40)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary opens her suitcase and hands a red book to the doctor. If you look closely, the dress she's wearing has sleeves and is a different one then the previous shot, which is sleeveless. (01:47:45)
Continuity mistake: In Doctor Hill's office Rosemary opens her suitcase and hands the red book to the doctor. When she first takes the book out of her suitcase she has a wrist watch on her left hand, then in the next shot as she hands it to him there's no wrist watch. (01:47:50)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary tells Doctor Hill about Hutch and we get a chance to look at her wrist watch, which says 2:20. In the previous scene as she talks to Doctor Hill in the phone booth he tells her to meet him at his office at 8:00. (01:48:10)
Continuity mistake: In his office Dr. Hill tells Rosemary, "I don't believe in witchcraft" and in his close-up the clock and pictures of his kids below the diplomas move closer together between shots. (01:49:10)
Continuity mistake: Dr. Hill brings Rosemary into an examining room so she can rest, and closes the blinds before he leaves. As he walks out he shuts the light and in the next shot she lies down and the blinds are wide open again with light pouring in. (01:50:15)
Continuity mistake: Dr. Hill brings Rosemary into an examining room and turns on the air conditioner so she can rest. Before he leaves we see outside the window and it's daylight, but two shots later we see out the window again and it's twilight. (01:50:20)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary reaches for her pocketbook on the white chair in Dr. Hill's examining room and the straps are at its sides. Two shots before when she put it down the straps were straight up, and no one has touched it since. (01:50:50)
Continuity mistake: Dr. Hill gets Guy and Dr. Sapirstein to escort Rosemary out of his office and the light on the examining apparatus between the two doors has been moved to the right since they walked into the room, without anyone going near it. (01:51:55)
Continuity mistake: In Dr. Hill's examining room Dr. Sapirstein reaches down and picks up Rosemary's bottle of pills from the white chair and we get a good close-up of his watch which reads 6:30. We know this can't be right because Dr. Hill and Rosemary met after 8:00. (01:52:20)
Continuity mistake: Dr. Sapirstein comes into Dr. Hill's examining room and tells Rosemary to, "put your shoes on" as he prepares to take her out of there. When Dr. Hill left her she asked if she should get undressed and he said no, and she never took her shoes off. (01:52:20)
Continuity mistake: Guy and Dr. Sapirstein escort Rosemary out of Dr. Hill's office into a car waiting to take her back to The Bramford and a blue and white taxi is right next to the car. In the next shot two yellow taxi cabs are there. (01:53:10)
Continuity mistake: Dr. Sapirstein and Guy escort Rosemary out of Dr. Hill's office into a car waiting to take her back to The Bramford. As the car drives off there's nothing behind the backseat but in the next shot there are some folders and a box of Kleenex there. (01:53:20)
Continuity mistake: Rosemary gets back into the apartment and gets Elise Dunstan's phone number from the phone book inside her pocketbook. She leaves the pocketbook right next to the phone book but when Dr. Sapirstein comes in the with a sedative she tries get away across the bed and the pocketbook is no longer there. (01:55:55)
Continuity mistake: As they are chasing her, Rosemary gets back into the apartment and looks up Elise Dunstan's phone number in her phone book. The last four digits of the phone number are 2012, but if you look at her as she's dialing, that's not the number she phones. (01:55:55)
Continuity mistake: After Dr. Sapirstein and Guy take her out of Dr. Hill's office Rosemary gets back into the apartment and calls up Elise Dunstan and the alarm clock by their bed reads 9:30. If you look closely as she holds the phone up to her ear her wristwatch reads 6:10. (01:56:20)
Continuity mistake: After Rosemary calls up Elise Dunstan she hears something moving around in the apartment and turns her head to the right in order to see what it is. In the next shot when Guy and the others walk into in the room Rosemary's entire body is turned around looking at them. (01:56:30)
Continuity mistake: Before she goes into labor Rosemary and Guy's alarm clock above their bed reads 9:30 throughout the scene, but when Dr. Sapirstein injects her with a sedative and she goes into labor the wrist watch that the man on the right of the screen is wearing gives another time which is 11:15. (01:57:15)
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.
