Bell, Book and Candle by John Van Druten


In this lighthearted 1950s romantic comedy, Gillian Holroyd becomes interested in her upstairs neighbor and tenant and hexes him into falling in love with her. Shep Henderson, her quarry, is mystified, delighted and completely unaware that other worldly forces are at work. Despite the oddness of Gillian’s aunt and brother, an endearingly addled old witch and a fun-loving warlock, Shep is oblivious. He knows only that his life changed when he crossed over Gillian’s threshold. When she realizes she is falling in love herself, Gillian faces a dilemma: She will lose her considerable powers if she acts on her feelings. Will love prevail?
