The Stepford Wives/Trivia: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Ability Over Appearance]]: The wives in the original screenplay were written to be dressed provocatively - presumably this counted for Carol too. Nanette Newman was thought to not have the right look to match this idea. However her "I'll just die if I don't get this recipe" scene is one of the more iconic parts of the film.

* [[Creator Backlash]]: Levin and screenwriter William Goldman were upset that instead of the sexy women of the novel, they were replaced by homemakers (see [[Real Life Writes the Plot]] below). Goldman raged, "If you're going to fuck a toaster, it'd better be a sexy toaster."
