Movie Showcase: The Stepford Wives

on BBC Two England

continues the season of recent, highly-acclaimed films starring
Katharine Ross Paula Prentiss
Stepford: a tranquil oasis of calm and civilisation after the noise and terrors of New York. Or is it? As Joanne becomes increasingly aware that her neighbours are zombie-like automatons she realises that the next victim may be her best friend - or herself. Is she too late to stop the conformity and male domination ... ?
British director Bryan Forbes, in his first American movie, portrays a terrifying vision of a world that seems - at times - uncomfortably close to the'materialistic society of the 1970s. The result is science-fiction-fact, with strong elements of contemporary satire.
A witty, intelligent, adult entertainment on a theme which is important and provocative. (SUNDAY TIMES) Screenplay by WILLIAM GOLDMAN from the novel by IRA LEVIN
Produced by EDGAR j. SCHERICK Directed by BRYAN FORBES
