Katharine Ross plays a young wife who, at her husband's suggestion, moves with her family from New York City to the quiet suburb of Stepford in this classic thriller from 1975, which has just resurfaced after a long period of video unavailability. Once in Stepford, she finds nearly all the women to be contentedly sedate and not only uninterested in "women's lib," but also interested in little outside of baking and cleaning. To say much more would spoil a highly suspenseful movie for those who haven't seen it, but The Stepford Wives is about more than mere suspense. With its references to consciousness-raising groups and other archaic matters, it's very much of its time, but the film is effective for its vision of homogenized suburbia as a place in which housewifery has made women as interchangeable as the mass-produced products in their supermarket.
