MCT:July 6, 2008A chilling horror/thriller that easily wipes the floor with the new "comedy" remake with Nicole Kidman. Katherine Ross plays an independant woman who moves to the seemingly perfect town of Stepford where the women are all clean freaks who don't think for themselves. You may already know the ending but the finale is shocking and ultimately tragic. A creepy and engrossing film.

Like most people discovering this film today ("Stepford wife" having almost become a household name), I watched it knowing exactly how it would end, which somewhat spoilt the experience, based as the movie is on a slow build up towards the final revelation.
My main problems with the film are first that it is implausible, both from an economic, techonological and psychological point of view (unless you accept the feminist portrayal of us male chauvinist pigs), and second that it misses the opportunity of being ambiguous about what is happening in Stepford (never for a moment do we doubt that Joanna is right in her suspicions; a more subtle movie would have left the audience undecided as to her sanity.)
However, I did find the movie watchable and interesting, even though it reflects a worldview I find very objectionable (its premise could have been written by a columnist for some emancipated women's magazine of the period.) Maybe it was because it functions well as a time capsule from the mid-70s, or because it echoed some of my own fantasies (though a Stepford wife is definitely not my ideal, quite the contrary.) -

A genuine surprise packet! An intelligent and undeniably creepy parable of gender roles (not to mention, gender warfare) which maintains a powerful relevance today. William Goldman's dialogue jumps off the screen, Katharine Ross is terrific and Bryan Forbes keeps things alarmingly real. While it may not have been the perfect representation of Ira Levin's vision (see Goldman's ADVENTURES OF THE SCREEN TRADE for more), it's a damn side better than the awful 2004 campfest of a remake. See it!
