"The movie of Rosemary's Baby attracted some of the hostility I had worried about while writing the book. A woman screamed "Blasphemy!" in the lobby after the first New York preview, and I subsequently received scores of reprimanding letters from Catholic schoolgirls, all worded almost identically. The Legion of Decency condemned the film, but the film turned around and condemned the Legion; when the film became a major hit despite, or because of, its C rating, the Legion, already on its last legs, was disbanded."
