Movie review - "The Stepford Wives" (1975) ***

A much better film than the remake, if only because it is a whole piece of work. Katherine Ross was never the best actor in the world, but was pretty (you still wish original choice Diane Keaton had done it). The film falls into the trap of being a bit too obvious about the appeals of robot women (I'm with original adapter William Goldman who thought that the girls had to be sex bombs to make the men go through with it - being polite and making dinner and tea isn't quite enough). Very scary last sequence.
