FILM REVIEW: Bell, Book, and Candle
by Andrew A. Anissi
Bell, Book, and Candle (1958), starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak
I've been a fan of Jimmy Stewart ever since I saw Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but Bell, Book, and Candle touches on a theme of particular interest to me. Stewart's character is a publisher in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, who moves into a new apartment which is downstairs from a mischievous witch, and upstairs from a beautiful and sexy other witch, played by Kim Novak. As the witches get interested in him, their destinies become tied together, with the help of a little magick, but the witches soon find out, as America already knows, that Jimmy Stewart is too swell of a guy to be the victim of their spellcasting. This is a very nice film for any pagan romantics out there. And for any fans of the actors, in the same year Bell, Book, and Candle was made, Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak were also together in Alfred Hitchcock's film, Vertigo.
