Could be, Sculpt, for all his griping He did do all those later Brady specials and had heard He truly loved the Kids. He did seem to go on to play more edgy characters after TBB, especially in NIGHTMARE IN BADHAM COUNTY.


BELL BOOK AND CANDLE (1958). This and 1942's I MARRIED A WITCH were the main inspiration for the show BEWITCHED, and indeed, can see a lot of similarities. Lovely blond Witch (Kim Novak) makes regular Joe Jimmy Stuart fall in love with her via spell and then is worried if he loves her because of the spell or is it true. There are quite a few truly humorous scenes here, but I think some physical offbeat antics would have made it more enjoyable, although good acting by all, especially Elsa Lanchester, wonderful as the dotty Aunt (and practically a coming attraction for "Endora" in the TV show). ***
