THE CAT’S NAME IS PYEWACKET. THE CAT’S NAME… IS PYEWACKET. 😭😭😭 I AM FEELING THINGS. #MainlyByMoonlight #BedknobsAndBroomsticks @joshlanyon.bsky.social #hoopladigital #BellBookAndCandle 🌈📚💙
I know, what did he ever do to them?
(OK, on second thought, maybe not the best response...)

Me: WTAF is happening in this scene?! What’s he doing with his hands?
John: 🤷🏻♀️ He’s French.

You'd have to search far and wide. Lemmon was ever so special an actor. And he is great as Novak's love interest a few years later in #TheNotoriousLandlady #TCMParty #BellBookAndCandle
Nicky requires an actor with both a comedic touch and ability to channel an impish magnetism. Lemmon would be extremely difficult to replace, IMO. #TCMParty #BellBookAndCandle
Omg no wonder this Technicolor is so rich, it almost has a noir feel! I forgot to check the cinematographer! James Wong Howe knocked it out of the park! #BellBookAndCandle #TCMParty
If only I'd known that herbs could cure not only my case of Milk Leg but also the thrumps. #BellBookAndCandle #TCMParty
Always a fun one.

Better classic film cat name: Grimalkin, in #NightOfTheDemon, or Pyewacket in #BellBookAndCandle #TCMParty
Not a fan of the new shop theme of flowers of the sea. Yikes.

Everyone is so mean to Pyewacket.

Shep telling Merle that they're "uncoupling" finally explains where Gwyneth Paltrow and the Coldplay guy got that idea. #BellBookAndCandle #TCMParty
"That girl you know, Gillian Holroyd, she's one."
"A witch?"
"Yeah!
"Shep, you've just never learned to spell."

“A witch? You just never learned to spell.”
Great line.

Cinematographer James Wong Howe smiling in a tuxedo holding an Oscar statue.
Five years after creating the lush Technicolor of New York in winter for #BellBookAndCandle, the great James Wong Howe won his second Best Cinematography Oscar for his stark black and white rendering of the Texas Panhandle in Hud. #TCMParty
Interesting how the magic cloak required attire for removing the spell is just a dusty grandma knitted shawl.

Jack Lemmon, but he was already cast as Nicky. James Garner could have done a great job, but he wasn't a big enough star yet. #TCMParty #BellBookAndCandle
Stewart’s about to go “apt pupil” on Novak. #TCMParty #BellBookAndCandle
Piwacket functions as kind of a surveillance camera over Gillian's place. #BellBookAndCandle #TCMParty
#TCMParty #BellBookAndCandle I know that James Stewart was a payback for Kim Novak in Vertigo, but he's still too old for her. Would have preferred William Holden.
Not to get too specific, but Kim Novak would not require any witchcraft to "get" me. #BellBookAndCandle #TCMParty
Nobody cackles quite like Elsa Lanchester. #BellBookAndCandle #TCMParty
His shaggy dog look is part of his charm. #TCMPart #BellBookAndCandle
