Actually, darlings, I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Rosemary's Baby" is a masterpiece, filled with horror and humor, and Mia Farrow giving what is still the performance of her life. I would never hesitate to recommend this film to anyone, but tonight it is being aired on the "House Of Svengoolie," meaning that in between the film will be Borscht Belt style jokes ruining the film's impact. Also, they are running it in their usual two-and-a half hour time slot. "Rosemary's Baby" runs exactly two hours and sixteen minutes, meaning large portions of the film are going to be cut to fit the time frame and moronic humor.
So, here is what I say. Anyone out there who has NEVER seen this film, even if having read the book, give it a look, because its brilliance will shine through. This will make those in this group seek out a DVD or streaming airing, to see the complete, uncut film.
For those, like me, who are aficionados of this film, I say SKIP IT! It is disrespectful to the film, Roman Polanski, Mia Farrow and everyone connected with it.
Those who choose to watch, keep an eye out for the painting of the burning church, and the hourglass coffee pot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to own those movie props!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we won’t be home this evening but, I must admit I am curious how they might handle it!
Victoria, I won't be able to tell you. Due to my high regard for the film, we are watching something else--"The Thursday Murder Club."
