Pyewacket and Gillian (Kim Novak)
Bell, Book, and Candle is one of my favorite films adapted after the Broadway play. This 1958 movie directed by Richard Quine takes place in Manhattan and stars a Siamese cat named Pyewacket. Kim Novak and James Stewart also star in this romantic comedy. Novak plays Gillian, owner of a bohemian African Art Gallery and also happens to be a seductive sorceress. Pyewacket is Gillian's assistant in spell casting. Gillian wants Shep (James Stewart) for her very own even though he is engaged to another woman. One evening, Pyewacket purrrrs while Gillian hums the spell casting tune which captures Shep.
The background of 5th Avenue and the various set locations are a delight to travel to. I highly recommend watching this film with your cats.
