The Baby Maker (1970) is a film directed by James Bridges and released by Twentieth Century Fox.

Plot

Barbara Hershey portrays a flower child who is hired to have the baby of a middle-class couple (Collin Wilcox-Horne and Sam Groom).

The film exposes the clash of values between Hershey, along with her boyfriend (Scott Glenn), and the couple. It also deals honestly and surprisingly fairly with the emotional turmoil all four characters go through.

Supposedly the film was dismissed upon its released because of the way it depicted hippie culture, but it is much more positive than a good amount of the films of the day, such as "Joe", released the same year. It neither accepts nor dismisses either of the two classes, but instead deals with the four principals as individuals.

The four characters are sensitively written director James Bridges, most famous for writing and directing "The China Syndrome", wrote the script with Richard Goldstone and Jack Larson. Hershey, Wilcox-Horne (also billed as Wilcox Paxton), Groom, and Glenn all give exceptional performances.
