Ep. 06-09: The Stepford Wives (1975)

 Joanna Eberhart (Katharine Ross) moves to the quiet town of Stepford with her husband (Peter Masterson) and children. The town seems perfect — maybe a little too perfect. There’s something not quite right with the suburb’s women: they’re vapid, unfathomably devoted to housework and completely subservient to their husbands. Joanna teams up with another recent transplant, Bobby (Paula Prentiss), to investigate the mystery of Stepford’s wives and makes a horrific discovery.

Today we return to the world of Ira Levin (Rosemary’s Baby) to a little sci-fi classic from the mid-1970s. The Stepford Wives (1975) is an ambitious, if not a very well-executed film. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of the film, including the director, screenplay, and costumes. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys travels to the quaint village of Stepford, where behind the gorgeous facade we discover sinister machinations lurking!
