10. Bell, Book, and Candle

It’s James Stewart day today on TCM, and I was excited to see that Bell, Book, and Candle was showing this morning. I remembered reading about the film in the Baby-Sitters Club books. As I remember, one of the girls (Dawn, I think) was a big fan of the movie and she mentioned it a couple of times. So I made sure that my cleaning was done by the time the movie started at eleven, and boy, was I disappointed! I do love Jimmy Stewart, and he’s looking a little older but still cute. But Kim Novack! Blech. It’s based on a play, so it seems a bit theatrical in a manner. But her witch is just so odd. Basically, I wouldn’t recommend wasting the time on the movie.
