The Stepford Wives (1975)



A new wife in a commuter village finds all her female friends too good to be true...because their husbands have had them replaced by computerized models.

From memory: A fascinating, often copied premise is well staged with some faults in pacing, but is quite effective and keeps its audience on guard to the end.

Halliwell*: "An attractive idea which needs a much lighter and pacier touch but entertains in patches and shows agreeable sophistication."

Maltin***: "Effective chiller..."
