  a pretty bad movie really.
  
  Polanski really plays a babbling fool well, hard for me to watch, but I loved the castle and Sharon Tate, what a beauty
  
  funny little movie
  
  
  
  
  thanks

  his* proclivities. If you can separate the man from the work, great. If not, it's a bit like trying to enjoy Leni Riefenstahl.

  *referring to Polanski's, of course, here

    ...a fun chuckle.
    
    Saw it again recently and marveled at how hysterically funny I never realized it truly was.
    
    Ages very well, like a demented fairy tale for adults!

      Are the fake backgrounds.

            ...could have been deliberate, such as when the little sled slides down from the Castle near the end - looked comical and toy-like to me.
            
            Then again, at the very end when the happy trio are horse sledding away from the danger they've just escaped, my eye was on Sharon Tate's "transformation" - I could easily have missed a satirically bad backdrop.

              I still don´t see it at deliberate. Some scenes are obviously made on location.
              I just think it was cheaper to shoot in a studio.
              Hitchcock did a better job at that.
