Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

"Bell, Book, and Candle"

Interesting. Movie making and acting were quite different back then. First observation: actresses were younger and trying to look older as opposed to now, they're older and trying to look younger. Fascinating.

Less background music (a plus; it's less distracting); slower pace (again, a plus; feels less frantic); quick enough to not be boring; I kind of like the men being in suits.

I love this movie. Kim Novak is note perfect and Jack Lemmon and Ernie Kovacs are a riot. Really. Lemmon steals the film. Then there is Hermoinie Gingold.

I've always wanted to have a cat named Pywacket.
