The Stepford Wives (1975)

TSW is a story of domestic bliss on one Marigold gloved hand and sinister goings-on on the other, based on the Ira Levin novel (1972) of the same name. It uses quite a lot of Ira’s dialogue verbatim, and manages to make it less dull in the process. Of course, it also benefits from having music. The ending is slightly different, but not in a bad way.
The insular town of Stepford is as much a character as the people that populate it, perhaps more so, because most of them are underdeveloped.
If you want a woman to become a doe-eyed, unthinking submissive like the ones in the film but you lack the scientific skills to make it happen, a diet of chick flicks and soap operas might have a similar effect.
