bell book and candle (1958)

"Oh Aunty I don't want to be human."
Shep Henderson (James Stewart) is a publisher who comes to the attention of Gillian Holroyd (Kim Novak), who just happens to be a witch. Gillian decides she must have Shep, especially when she finds out that he is about to marry Merle Kittridge (Janice Rule), an adversary from her college days. What's a witch to do but witchcraft and she casts a spell over him. But the course of love never runs true and an exorcist brings with him real danger. Will Gillian get to keep her man, especially when she realises she really is in love, or will he object to being her plaything?
A wonderfully played romantic comedy, with a superb cast including Elsa Lanchester and Jack Lemmon, and who wouldn't fall for Kim Novak?
