Bell Book and Candle
This charmingly spooky romantic comedy has successfully resisted decades of attempts to remake it, in part because its cast could not be bettered. A beautifully mounted studio picture, it’s also an indelible Christmas movie reuniting Vertigo stars Kim Novak (replacing a pregnant Vera Miles) and James Stewart (in the role Rex Harrison originated in the 1950 play). An obvious inspiration for the popular tv series Bewitched.
