Summary: 5 Stars
Bell Book and Candle by Van Druten. 1951 Random House.
This is a Christmas love story with a tad of magic.
"Bell Book and Candle" was first presented by Irene Mayer Selznick at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, New York City, on November 14, 1950 with the following cast:
Gillian Holroyd Lillie Palmer
Shepherd Henderson Rex Harrison
Miss Holroyd Jean Adair
Nicky Holroyd Scott McRae
Sidney Redlitch Larry Gates.
There are three photos by John Seymour from the play.
The play is of a witch wondering what it would be like to be human; she may find out in the process of capturing a man by magic.
The movie version of this play:
This is a Christmas story that may have a more Halloween feel. Shep Henderson takes a new apartment. Little does he know that the other residences are witches. Gil Holroyd Kim Novak sort of likes Shep and wonders if she can get his affection without witchery. She also finds that Shep's girlfriend (Janice Rule) is an old adversary. Now the fun begins.
