Summary: Gillian Holroyd is just your average, modern-day, witch, living in a New York apartment with her Siamese familiar, Pyewacket. But one day a handsome publisher, Shep Henderson walks into her building and Gillian decides she wants him--especially as it turns out he's marrying Merle Kittridge, an old poison penpal from Gillian's college days. So, Gillian casts a spell over Shep. But her powers are in danger of being exorcised by something stronger than the bell-book-and-candle routine: Love. (imdb)

This sounds like an interesting idea, but somehow it doesn't work. Novak is too earthbound and prosaic to make a good witch, comic performers Lemmon, Gingold, Lancaster, Kovacs--marvelous in almost everything they do, don't perform well here, and Stewart looks lost and tired. The script isn't bad, so I guess I'll blame director Richard Quine.

Despite a good cast, much of the play's magic is lost in this bloated and rather leaden screen version. Not without value, but lacking the required lightness of touch.

A lot of hokey shtick-like comedic touches. The two stars seem curiously lukewarm and indifferent, as though they didn't really want to be there. Lanchester and Lemmon are fun though.

Solid, well-cast fantasy-comedy that may have been the inspiration for TV's "Bewitched" series and almost cries out for a Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan remake.

Witchcraft comedy, fittingly bewitching, from the Van Druten stage play, exploring extensively the metaphor of love as a magical power, a spell, an enchantment, a transfigurement. Meaningful use of the Bohemian ambience of Greenwich Village (regardless how artificially reproduced on the backlot); smartly cast

unique and interesting enough to keep the attention, jack lemmon and ernie kovacs take the spotlight, but jimmy stewart and kim novak are by no means terrible. could have been more eventful and much more funny, but as it stands it's quite luke warm.
