"Something strange is happening in the town of Stepford, Connecticut. Where the men spend their nights doing something secret. And every woman acts like every man's dream of the perfect wife. Where a young woman watches the dream become a nightmare. And sees the nightmare engulf her best friend. And realizes that at any moment, any second - her turn is coming.
"No suspense / thriller in the history of the cinema has left a more lasting impression on audiences than The Stepford Wives. For two decades its title and what it implies have been ingrained into our vocabulary and consciousness.
"The talent associated with this classic is impressive. Katharine Ross and Paula Prentiss star and seven-year-old Mary Stuart Masterson makes her film debut playing the daughter of real-life dad, Peter Masterson of The Exorcist. Other cast members include Patrick O'Neal, Tina Louise and Dee Wallace."

Joe Bob reviews Rosemary's Baby
There was a competition to cross the English channel doing only the breaststroke, and the three women who entered the race were a brunette, a redhead and a blonde.
After approximately 14 hours, the brunette staggered up on the shore and was declared the fastest. About 40 minutes later, the redhead crawled up on the shore and was declared the second place finisher.
Nearly 4 hours after that, the blonde finally came ashore and promptly collapsed in front of the worried onlookers.
When the reporters asked why it took her so long to complete the race, she replied, "I don't want to sound like I'm a sore loser, but I think those two other girls were using their arms..."
