Summary: an almost perfect little movie
Review: this was when romantic comedies were clever and full of charm.....this is an offbeat gem that, unless you are a truly cynical person, will make your heart go boom, boom, boom. Kim Novak was never lovlier in a movie except for maybe Vertigo. This is a sly and gentle movie and the funny special effects and the strange noise and the odd character actors in it actually give it a real feel of something strange and occult going on. I hear they are remaking it. The craven yuppie pigs in Hollywood can't keep their Starbuck stained hands off of anything that was perfect and wonderful. They'll screw this one up. It was done so well, it should be left alone. Oh well. Maybe they'll remake Psycho! Oh Hell! They did! See this movie. It will make you feel good. Jack Lemmon is perfect.

Summary: Beautiful, funny and beguiling
Review: When black-clad barefoot Gillian (Kim Novak) yearns aloud to her cat/familiar (Pyewacket) for a normal Christmas around normal people, she gets more than she bargains for. When the new tenant in her building, Shep (Jimmy Stewart), falls across her path, she decides to seek a little revenge on his fiancee who was a beau-stealing, poison pen in college.

Kim Novak is absolutely beautiful in this one and Jack Lemmon, as her wacky bongo playing brother fills out a perfect cast. The aunt (I can't remember her name) is wonderfully batty - probably the inspiration for Esmerelda in the Bewitched series (just my guess).

Summary: The Special Star is Ernie Kovacks
Review: While this is a very fine and funny film, what makes it special is Ernie Kovacks, an early TV great who died before America had the chance to make him great...
