The Stepford Wives (1975)
The Stepford Wives, based upon a 1972 novel of the same name, is a creepy sci-fi parable that posits that all straight men really want in a girlfriend or wife is an accommodating, compliant, sex object. A classic 1970s thriller that adeptly mixes techno-paranoia and social commentary, the story centers around a woman named Joanna whose husband whisks her out of New York City to a suburb in Connecticut, where all the women act really weird. The reason that they act really weird is (*spoiler*) because their husbands are part of a local men’s association that turns wives into robots.
If nothing else, you should watch the trailer for this movie. The narrator sounds like he was…uh…excited…by the premise.
