The original play 'Bell, Book and Candle' by John Van Druten, on which the movie is based, debuted on Broadway.
The romantic comedy film 'Bell, Book and Candle', directed by Richard Quine and starring James Stewart and Kim Novak, was released in theaters.
The film was remastered and re-released for new audiences as part of classic movie collections.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
