Stepford Wives - Paul Moody (BFI Film Classics)

Drawing on new archival research, Paul Moody explores the tensions that played out during the film's production, including the firing of lead actors and clashes between the director, Bryan Forbes, and the screenwriter, the Academy Award-winning William Goldman-and argues that the real story of Stepford is the role played by the various women involved in the film's production, many of whom also have been omitted from the narratives told about the movie and the indelible legacy it has left on popular culture.
