Interestingly, Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980) was originally the director of the film, but was later changed to roman Polanski, who was not well known at the time. It was also his independent directorial debut, but it was this unexpected move that also made Roman Polanski a master in the history of Hollywood and even world cinema.
No psychic shots, no sudden shocks, not too many dark scenes, no disturbing music, only two bloody shots, only two demonic eyes, and the baby never showed up... More is the exquisite composition, beautiful scenes, beautiful colors, fashionable costumes, "Rosemary's Baby" is such a horror film.
The performance of the heroine Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby" is the biggest highlight of the whole film. Mia Farrow is not very pretty, but her acting skills are very good, and she interprets the role perfectly. She grasped the psychological changes of the heroine very well, from doubt to panic, from panic to fear, from fear to collapse, all emotions were expressed on that thin face. In particular, the scene at the telephone booth vividly shows a person's psychological state of inner fear to the extreme, and the audience will sweat out of fear when watching her performance.

Woody Allen and Mia Farrow were key figures in New York high society, adopting two more children in addition to one child during the 10 years they lived together. Woody Allen and Mia Farrow are both Hollywood-mixed literary and artistic workers, so their feelings are more open than the average person, from meeting in 1979, establishing a relationship in 1980, and breaking up in 1992, during which they have not been licensed, and all indications are that they have always been de facto open-ended. Woody Allen, for her part, had two marriages, harlem Susan Rosen and Louise Russell Louise Lasser, from 1956 to 1962 and from 1966 to 1970.

What happened next has been reported by the media to the fullest, and until now, the relevant news has broken out from time to time. In 1992, Mia Farrow found nude photos of her 19-year-old Korean adopted daughter Song Yi in Woody Allen's apartment. Woody Allen, then 56, openly admitted to his ambiguous relationship with his adopted daughter Song Yi. The world of Mia Farrow collapsed in that moment. Her partner for many years not only slept with her adopted daughter, but also committed "formal incest.". "No book can teach me exactly what to do," says Mia Farrow, "and the kids are having a hard time, and Woody Allen is their lifelong father." We even had a biological son, but his father and sister were married. Mia Farrow appeared frequently with her three other children, accusing Woody Allen of seducing her adopted daughter, morally depraved, and demanding a formal separation from him, and Mia Farrow eventually won the victory, but at great cost. It is worth mentioning that, legally speaking, Song Yi is the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and her ex-husband André Pleven, but not the adopted daughter of Woody Allen.

In August 1992, Woody Allen was accused of sexual assault by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow, who was only 7 years old at the time, in Connecticut, where Dylan Farrow's adoptive mother, Woody Allen's lover (who lived together but had never married), and Mia Farrow's home, sexually assaulted her. Yet Woody Allen has repeatedly denied the allegation. The assault allegations were allegedly filed 8 months after Mia Farrow learned that Woody Allen had an "improper relationship" with her other adopted daughter, Song Yi.
In 2018, Woody Allen's current wife, Song Yi, spoke out for the first time about the "Woody Allen sexual assault of her adopted daughter Dylan Farrow": "Mia Farrow was not my mother from the beginning, and I had no interest in writing "Dear Mommy" to settle accounts with Mia Farrow, but what happened to Woody Allen was too sad. Mia Farrow uses 'ME TOO' to package Dylan Farrow as a victim. ”

Woody Allen was never allowed to approach the other children, and three of them changed their names to draw a line with him. Ex-husband Frank Sinatra had suggested breaking Woody Allen's leg, but Mia Farrow said there was no "eternal hatred" in the world, although she would never be able to forgive Woody Allen. Mia Farrow said: "I can't accept what he does. "Will Mia Farrow forgive Song Yi?" She replied cautiously: "I have to keep the family close and united, so I can't always leave a place for someone who doesn't show up." Some children have no idea that she was part of the family. At the moment our family is intact and she is no longer my daughter. ”
Mia Farrow won the Golden Globe Award for New Actress that year for her performance in Rosemary's Baby/Devil's Baby/Lost Baby (1968).
