Description:
This Is No Dream: Making Rosemary's Baby is a definitive, illustrated history of Roman Polanski's great 1968 film, from director and casting choices to the kudos and condemnation it received upon its release. During its making, Polanski fell seriously behind schedule and was almost fired; star Mia Farrow faced an ultimatum--career or marriage--from husband Frank Sinatra; and actor John Cassavetes nearly came to blows with his genius director. Photographer Bob Willoughby--a veteran special set photographer who shot for such movies as Ocean's 11 (1960), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) and The Graduate (1967)--captured it all, along with other studio photographers. This book, commemorating the 50th anniversary of this landmark picture, features Bob Willoughby's work, with many of his behind-the-scenes images presented here for the first time
