With Judy Holliday in the main role Bell Book and Candle would have worked perfectly. As it is, it doesn't work at all. It's a broad, very silly comedy based on I Married a Witch, and yet Kim Novak is a downer in literally every scene. It's so weird because all the scenes that don't include Novak are silly. Jack Lemmon, Jimmy Stewart, and Elsa Lanchester all are playing very funny comedy, but Kim Novak is doing her usual Jennifer Lawrence thing. It does not work at all.
P.S. I loved the cat.
