We actually see the tragic situation Rosemary is in before she does which is due to wonderfull writing and top shelf directing. I've raely sided with a character so much and wished them out of danger as much as I did for poor Rosemary. Scared...you bet....to give your trust away is a hard thing to do in this life and what happened to her (gradually) was quite shocking. Not everyone's cup of tea I suppose but many rank this one in their top 10 of all time....including me.
