Editorial Reviews

John Van Druten's stage comedy Bell Book and Candle starred Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer on Broadway. The 1958 filmed version stars James Stewart and Kim Novak, fresh from their successful teaming in Hitchcock's Vertigo. Novak plays Gillian Holroyd, a genuine, bonafide witch. Falling in love with publisher Sheperd Henderson (Stewart), Gillian casts a spell on him, obliging him to dump his fiancee and rush to her side. All of this goes against the grain of Gillian's mentor Mrs. De Pass (Hermione Gingold), who does her best to counterract the love spell. Meanwhile, Gillian's wacky warlock brother Nicky (Jack Lemmon) courts disaster by coauthoring a book on black magic with pompous, bibulous novelist Sidney Redlitch (Ernie Kovacs).

June 09, 2008: To the reviews that have already been submitted, I would like to add that the cinematography is by James Wong Howe, one of Hollywood's best, and that the musical score is excellent. Elsa Lanchester deserves notice as Gillian's mischievous aunt. Obviously I am an afficianado of this film.

November 11, 2006: This is definitley one to see...Kim Novak is as beautiful as ever as Gilian, Jack Lemmon is charming as her bongo playing beatnik warlock brother, and Jimmy Stewart is well, Jimmy Stewart. A truly unique metaphysical love story.
