A classic horror film that inspired one of the most famous vintage movie posters of all time, Rosemary’s Baby is still terrifying audiences more than 50 years after its release. Amongst our collection of old film posters is the iconic Steve Frankfurt and Philip Gips designed vintage poster, which depicts the film art of Mia Farrow’s ghostly profile looming over a silhouetted pram in mystical hues of green, with the text ‘Pray for Rosemary’s Baby’. Film/Art Gallery stocks both U.S. and international styles of the vintage Rosemary’s Baby movie poster including; the U.S. 1 Sheet, French, Polish and very rare Japanese 2 Panel.

Rosemary’s Baby was written and directed by Roman Polanski and based on the book Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin. It explores themes of mental health, women’s liberation, religion and the occult. In the movie, Mia Farrow plays Rosemary Woodhouse, a newlywed who has moved with her husband Guy into a New York apartment. Little does the couple know their neighbors are secret satanists, who plot to have Rosemary impregnated by the Devil. The film was a critical and commercial success and earned a number of awards, including a Golden Globe for Mia Farrow and Oscar for Ruth Gordon. 

The movie set a new benchmark for horror and inspired other Satan-themed films that followed it, including The Exorcist and The Omen. In 2014 Rosemary’s Baby was selected for preservation in the national Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
