the 1960 tv series bewitch owes it idea from this movie . this be the movie that jimmy stewart and kim novak make right after they be cast together in vertigo by alfred hitchcock . this one be not as obsessive a that one but novak be just a captivate . this be jack lemmon 10th movie and he be good in support here as well a ernie kovacs . the movie have a lot of good thing about it . hermine gingold be very good in this movie and almost a good in support here a she be in the music man . the cast be very solid . this movie have a late 1950 new york city feel and a cat that be as hexing a any feline in any movie . it be well worth watch a it be a love story with all the emotion of any and and a little magic too boot . it be not vertigo but i think because it follow that movie and viewer then do not rate it as good a it deserve sure be glad that william asher saw it and so that the 1960 series get create . i be not so glad about what will ferrell do to it on the big screen and this movie be much good than that .
