Celebrate Valentine’s Day with the supernatural romance Bell, Book and Candle (one of the inspirations for Bewitched). Bring your significant other, best friend(s) or treat yourself. Enjoy a glass of wine or a chocolate martini, personal charcuterie board and a special dessert at your seat – all included with your ticket.
Meet Gillan Holroyd (Kim Novak), Greenwich Village’s most seductive sorceress. Powerful, glamorous, and a wee bit bored, Gillian knows that witches can’t fall in love. But they can have fun … especially if their lover belongs to another woman! So when Gillian discovers handsome new neighbor Shep Henderson (James Stewart) is the fiance of an old college nemesis (Janice Rule), she promptly puts the befuddled publisher under her spell. But while her sex hex may have heated up Shep’s heart, it has also unthawed her own, leading to a romantic complication that not even Pyewacket, Gillian’s mind-reading cat, could have foreseen. Presented in an eye-popping Technicolor transfer that beautifully captures James Wong Howe’s stunning cinematography, BELL, BOOK and CANDLE – co-starring Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacs, Hermione Gingold and Elsa Lanchester – is “a delightful spoof on witchcraft with the cast members at their very best.” (The Motion Picture Guide)!
