Rosemary's Baby

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)

????

Continuity mistake: After she sees the baby, Roman says to Rosemary, "His power is stronger than strongerÂ…" and the clock on the back wall reads 8:20. Two shots later we see Laura-Louise's wrist watch and it reads 6:07. (02:10:55)

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)

Visible crew/equipment: As they discuss going over to the Castevet's for dinner Rosemary says, "No, we don't have to go if you don't want to" as Guy eats. You can see the shadow of a crew member move in the center of the screen on the wall behind him. (00:24:05)

Visible crew/equipment: Minnie and Laura-Louise walk into Rosemary's living room and you can see the shadow of the cameraman on the wall to the right of the screen. (00:31:20)

Continuity mistake: Guy is lying down on the sofa as Rosemary shows him the necklace with the tannis root inside. His right ankle is leaning over the edge of the sofa right next to the lamp. Two shots later Guy says, "Well if you took it you ought to wear it" and the lamp has been moved a foot to the left of his ankle. (00:32:50)

Continuity mistake: At dinner with Hutch, Rosemary sits at her place at the table and we see a plate on the bookshelf behind her. The plate is on the bottom left shelf, close to the center, but later in the scene as they are eating the plate has moved about six inches to the left. The books on the right side of the bookshelf are also rearranged throughout this scene. (00:07:25)

Continuity mistake: Rosemary takes a walk with Hutch and he says, "I say, you had another suicide at happy house". Maurice Evans is British and says, "I say" but the transcriber makes a mistake and the closed captioning reads, "I see". (00:36:10)

????

Continuity mistake: Rosemary is using a yardstick to draw a line on a piece of paper as Guy walks in and tells her that Donald Baumgart got the part in the play that he was hoping for. She goes into the kitchen to get him a beer and returns to what she was doing and everything has been moved without anyone going near it. Most notable is the book rack and the piece of foam to the left of her. (00:22:30)

More quotes from Rosemary's Baby

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.
