Just watched The Stepford Wives (1975). Bogus! No way in hell Katherine Ross, Paula Prentiss,

Tina Louise, et al would have been married to any of those mooks!

The production company used a classmate’s family house for several scenes. It was their house that had the tennis court dug up for the swimming pool.

The story is a frightening idea.

seeing that as a teen in the '70s. Was pretty disturbed by it. A backlash at the women's movement.

because the original was such a masterpiece; but it was actually not that bad. I'm glad they changed the story somewhat rather than trying to clone the original.
