a a pagan and i must say this movie have little if any magickal significance . it a fun witchcraft movie and not mean to teach u anything except that love be the strong magick of all and and never to use it in a controlling or vengeful way . that a lesson everyone need to learn and not just pagan . that have be say and this movie be wonderfully write and sweetly execute by kim novak and the venerable jimmy stewart . hermione gingold delivers a stellar performance a bianca and elsa lanchester ( with too many movie credit to mention except a ms. jane marble of murder by death ) be wonderful a ms. novak absent mind yet capable upstairs neighbor queenie . also star jack lemmon ( wonderful performance ) and jim kovacs ( brilliantly witty ) . witch can not cry . why and they can not shed a single tear because their heart be full of magick . they do not have time for silly thing such a love . queenie . gillian holroyd ( novak ) and her brother nicky ( jack lemmon ) be manhattan witch . cloak deeply within the secret underworld of those of the craft and they live among other new yorkers a one of them and without so much a cause a raise eyebrow . but then and along come shepherd shep henderson ( stewart ) and a steadfast and no nonsense and dedicate businessman who be engage to be marry to gillian old college rival . by a quirky mishap of chance and he find himself move into gillian building and be instantly bewitch by her charm and grace . by the use of magick and with a little help from pyewacket ( gillian familiar and train by robert e. blair ) and queenie and gillian begin to work on this handsome new dream man to get back at her old enemy . but magick should never be use to control and nor to hurt and and gillian learns that the hard way in the most bittersweet way . not only do she have to face what she do and but she have to face shep in her guilt . from the critical perspective while however and the movie take a serious turn represent the effect be very dated to the point of be pure camp . some of the scenery be seemingly shoot in the basement of someone small home and but at least the character be quirky and fun . on a personal note and pyewacket steal the show . great cat . great training by robert e. blair . a a note of trivia and this be the root for the beloved bewitch television sitcom . this introduce the original samantha and darrin . all the character of note be present and account for . you have but to look and to see it for yourself . this be one of my favorite and and i watch it often . this movie get a 9. negative from . the fiend represent .
