BNCA70 I disagree. I didn't think it was bad. It was campy. They got rid of the horror aspect and rebranded it toward a broader audience. It would not have held up as a horror film now due to Hollywood's crazy specific horror genre. I liked it as a kid too. It's a remake for a different audience, and it wasn't made for the fans of the original.

Why most women are angry at the movie's possibility (minus the death thing of course) is that they will now have to compete for their husband's attention. It is much easier just to say, "he should just be happy with what I give him."

I must have seen this film at least five times, but only today did I realize what really makes it such a chilling thing to watch. I used to think it was only the rampant sexism we see from all the men -- and that's certainly a large part of it -- but today it occurred to me that Katherine Ross, as Joanna Eberhart, is from the very beginning of the film, as near to perfection as she could possibly be -- she's not just impossibly beautiful, but she's intelligent and charming and talented and perceptive and everything else one could fall in love with, but from the perspective of the men, it's just not enough. These guys don't want a perfect woman, because if they did Joanna would be ideal. They want, instead, the kind of automaton completely under their whimsical control, and of course no real woman could possibly measure up. That they succeed in their evil designs reveals their own lack of real humanity to such a degree that this is a real horror story, and one of the best ones every made. But it is also a cautionary tale.

Sorry to say it, but these women had no interest in men who were struggling to make a living. All they wanted to do all day was lounge around, not having to go to a job, and complain about how "tough" it was to be a woman. Give me a break.

What I find striking in the ending is that Joanna notices the robot has large breasts. All thru the movie we have seen Joanna going braless, typical in that time period, especially for women involved in the liberation movement, and in the end, she realizes her husband never liked her natural shape. He had the robot designed with big breasts. It is a look that crosses her face briefly when she first sees her robot replacement. "Not only is he having me killed but he has redesigned my body." Sad and thought provoking. We are happy with those we love but what if we found out we have a choice and can change them?

This isn’t an anti-men movie at all. The men are also depicted as victims, it’s just so subtle most people miss the signs- -Joanna’s husband, once he realises that the plan involves actually killing his wife and replacing her with a bot, spends the night getting drunk and crying. But it’s too late to back out now because he knows too much and Diz can kill him just as easily as he has the wives killed. -The man Joanna sees crying in his car while being comforted by Diz, probably right after his wife was killed and replaced by a bot. -The man who has the tennis court ripped up to build a pool to fulfill his emotional hole inside that can’t ever be satisfied by anything. The men are crying before and right after the wives get replaced and even after they’re used to the new wife, they feel emotionally unfulfilled. And the wife dies, maybe she can at least find some peace in it. The men however, are stuck in Stepford. They can never leave because they know too much and they can’t kill themselves because Diz doesn’t want his perfect world ruined like that. They’re stuck in miserable emotionally dead lives forever. They never escape the hell they contributed towards creating. It’s also telling that the wives are not killed by any of the men, but by the robots that will replace them. They’re being killed by the system that Diz(metaphor for society) set up. The message of the movie is clear- if you stand by the sidelines and allow an abusive system to flourish because of personal greed, that same system will take you down too.

Great movie. The feel is a lot like "Rosemary's Baby," a favorite of mine, in that the characters are so normal, so average, that the things that happen to them are scary enough to make them almost believable, and that, IMO, is where the "horror" is derived. It's the type of film that doesn't need a lot of bloody gore, weapons or masked bogeymen to make it truly terrifying. Before Paula Prentiss' character, Bobby, was reanimated, she was really quite afraid, and she made us feel it. Patrick O'Neal's 'villain' was overly understated, if that makes sense, but this was otherwise really well-acted. Now I'd like to read the novel.

My god Katherine Ross is a beautiful, talented woman.

jerico641 Yes she was stunning. As an actress though I find her emotionless at times in some of her films. At the end of this film there was no sense of fear or dread that she was going to be killed or even shock. I just think she comes across too wooden at times.

And Katharine Ross has achieved a long and happy marriage to her fifth husband, the actor Sam Elliott. That's rare in Hollywood - good for her.

@@susanwaugh3885 I appreciated her as an actress. She seemed to stop acting too soon early in her career imo.

This movie reminds me of The Truman Show and The Handmaid’s Tale. I’ve never seen it before yet ‘Stepford Wife’ is part of our lexicon.

This movie was the Women Libbers nightmare. Notice at the end the black couple were arguing about whether to stay in Stefford or not...kind of like the way Joanne was arguing with her husband in the beginning of the movie? 😐

Yep...and it's not looking good for the wife. Most likely the husband will be initiated into the "Stepford Men's Club" soon,if he hasn't been asked to join already.

Not really. The Men's Association pretty much controlled Stepford, and they could easily have done something to prevent the black couple from moving into the town. The ending shows that conspiring men are not limited to one race.

Melanie Haendel I'm not a "woman's libber". But as a human being, who wants to know they're about to be murdered and replaced by a robot?? It's terrifying to me.

Yep. The above-mentioned apparently impending arrival of an African-American couple just goes to show that Stepford was an Equal Opportunity bastion of murderous males.

That was the character in the book named Ruth I think who was a children's book author. She notices how good Joanna looks but won't call her back. She's the next housewife to go after Joanna.

Ira Levin is incredible. The ending sequence in the grocery store was brilliant. I'm not sure if it's in the novel, but it was so clever.

Those totally black eyes on the drone; had to be contacts since there was no CGI in 1975. Wow; I had forgotten that gruesome detail.
