Although it's been a while, I like the 1975 film – the 2004 remake is abysmal – and find it to be, like the book, to have a strong feminist message as Ira Levin was pretty far from a misogynist and, I believe, wrote the book to criticise women who become willingly subservient to men, and men who demand their wives give up careers to become housewives and mothers.
