'Bell, Book And Candle' (1958)
-Kim Novak, James Stewart
Plot: IMDB
Gillian Holroyd is just your average, modern-day, witch, living in a New York apartment with her Siamese familiar, Pyewacket. But one day a handsome publisher, Shep Henderson walks into her building and Gillian decides she wants him--especially as it turns out he's marrying Merle Kittridge, an old poison penpal from Gillian's college days. So, Gillian casts a spell over Shep. But her powers are in danger of being exorcised by something stronger than the bell-book-and-candle routine: Love.
Phantom's Review:
A year after starring together in the classic Hitchcock thriller "Vertigo", Novak and Stewart re team for this delightful supernatural romantic comedy. The two actors have excellent chemistry and it;s fun to watch them work together.Jack Lemmon costars as Novaks younger brother, a greedy warlock and Elsa Lancaster is her ditsy Aunt Queenie. One of the inspirations for the classic sitcom 'Bewitched"this is a very entertaining light hearted film.
