Guy Woodhouse

If it's not already taken, you're welcome.

While this movie, Rosemary's Baby, is loaded with cold characters, characters like Guy Woodhouse, played with true asshole charm by John Cassavetes, the struggling actor who will do anything, even make a deal with the devil for his wife's baby in order to catch a break, or the evil Cassavetes, Minnie and Roman, played by the scenery-chewing Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmire, one of the greatest on-screen couples in film history, my estimation.

You know, as cold as these characters are, there is this domesticity to this film as it's largely set inside these New York City apartments.

And the holiday season comes and goes.

But then you look at Rosemary's Baby.

It is the iconic story of Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse in Manhattan.

Dealing with eccentric neighbors.

And a sinister conspiracy surrounding her pregnancy.

Bear Bailey still holding on to the name, the title of the F That Guy Award for now.

Formerly belonged to Mike Logan and Guy Woodhouse.

All of which have

OK, do you want to know? OK, I told you.

So there's a. There's a scene where Guy, her husband, has won a role because the person that was in line for the role goes blind.

And I already told this to Andy before he watched it.

I was like, listen to this phone call.

Um, but, and she's, she does appear, uh, at the party scene.

Um, She's uncredited in that scene, but eventually she's murdered by the Manson family with her four friends and her unborn child.

So some conspiracy theorists like to think that Polanski pulled a Guy Woodhouse, just like Rosemary's husband in this movie, and offers Tate as a blood sacrifice.

uh, to have a successful career, uh, even after he fled justice.

Rosemary Woodhouse.

Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse.

And Guy is an actor.

It's interesting to me, the very first thing he says in the movie is a lie.

Mm-hmm

... as Guy Woodhouse, the actor husband.

Oh, yeah

Who as Rosemary says, "You know how actors are.

Witchcraft.

Rosemary and Guy move in anyway.

Then they meet their neighbors.

Roman and Minnie are an older married couple who live nearby.

Minnie is intrusive.

Constantly pushing her way into Rosemary's life.

Roman is more reserved, but he takes a particular interest in the husband, Guy.

Guy initially finds the neighbor couple extremely irritating.

The way that the building is filmed certainly adds to the growing sense of paranoia, creating a world in which everyone can be watched surreptitiously from the many windows overlooking the courtyard.

In some ways, we can see it as a spiritual sister to the Bramford, the building into which Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse move in 1968's Rosemary's Baby.

The London setting is reinforced by a shot of a classic black taxi cab carrying Jane and Sister Barbara through the busy streets, although the interior shots of the taxi were actually filmed in parkland on the outskirts of Rome.

Here we discover that Barbara and Richard have a very tense relationship and also the nature of the pills that Richard has been giving Jane.
