Year Released: 1968 Directed By: Roman Polanski Starring: Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Ralph Bellamy (R, 94 min.)
Roman Polanski's first American movie is adapted from the Ira Levin book, and it remains a masterpiece of droll humor and inbred horror. As well as in any film he ever made, Polanski here earns plaudits for being one of the cinema's great storytellers. (Double bill: Carrie)
