About the movie: A modern-day witch likes her neighbor but despises his fiancee, so she enchants him to love her instead... only to fall in love with him for real.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Bell Book and Candle (1958)?
a.		In 1994, Judy Lewis went public with the information that she is indeed the love child of Clark Gable and Loretta Young, which had been the subject of speculation in Hollywood for years. (Loretta Young always claimed she went away for a while, found the girl, and adopted her.) Thus, in an interesting coincidence, Clark Gables real life daughter Judy Lewis is a close friend of Gables on-screen daughter in this film, Cammie King Conlon (Bonnie Blue Butler).
b.		The title "Bell, Book and Candle" is a reference to excommunication, which is performed by bell, book and candle. It is opened with "Ring the bell, open the book, light the candle," and closed with "Ring the bell, close the book, quench the candle."
c.		The lullaby that Leonards mother sings to him at the hospital is called "Slumber Boat".
d.		Until recently (2007), Invasion U.S.A. was MGMs second highest selling home video title behind Gone with the Wind.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Bell Book and Candle (1958)?
a.		Scott Teems screenplay for the film won the Emerging Narrative Screenplay Award at the 2006 IFP Market in New York.
b.		James Stewart felt that he was miscast as Shepherd Henderson.
c.		Veronica Cartwright played the character of "Nancy Bellicec" in the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
d.		Cordelia Biddle Duke Robertson (1898 - 1984) co-wrote (with Kyle Crichton) the book upon which both the movie and play "The Happiest Millionaire" were based, "My Philadelphia Father." After her divorce from Angier Buchanan Duke (who, unlike his character in the movie, was actually more than a decade her senior), she made a far happier marriage to architect Thomas Robertson, a marriage which lasted until his death in 1962. Like her father, she enjoyed an active life devoted to many charitable activities. By most accounts, she was one of those women who grew more attractive as they grew older, prompting a reporter to state "The aura of youth clinging to this illusion. It is no product that can be bought in a beauty shop or designers salon. Hers is a youth that laughs at the insolent years..." Active almost to the end of her life, she died at her home in Southhampton, New York.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Bell Book and Candle (1958)?
a.		The Guards in the hall: Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, and Mark McKinney all used to be on the Canadian sketch comedy show The Kids in the Hall .
b.		A UK MTV Host, Alex Zane, is featured during the zombies rampage through the mall. After interviewing Zack Snyder he was invited to be in the film, thus as we see the zombies running past the camera once theyve entered the mall, he is clad in a bright white checkered shirt.
c.		In the funeral scene, the dog consistently refused to look into the grave. Finally, director George Stevens had the dogs trainer lie down in the bottom of the grave, and the dog played his part ably. The coffin (loaded with rocks for appropriate effect) was then lowered into the grave, but when the harmonica player began to play "Taps" spontaneously, the crew was so moved by the scene that they began shoveling dirt into the grave before remembering the dogs trainer was still there.
d.		The play opened on Broadway in New York City at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on November 14, 1950 and closed on June 2, 1951 after 233 performances. The opening-night cast consisted of Rex Harrison as Shepherd Henderson, Lilli Palmer as Gillian Holroyd, Jean Adair as Miss Queeny Holroyd, Larry Gates as Sidney Redlitch and Scott McKay as Nicky Holroyd. There were no other characters in the play.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Bell Book and Candle (1958)?
a.		Mel Gibson was supposed to star in Terry Gilliams (never made) film "A Tale of Two Cities" but turned it down to star in this movie which he then offered to Gilliam to direct, but Gilliam declined.
b.		Gillians cat is named Pyewacket. This name has become a popular one for cats because of this movie, but few know its origin: Pyewacket was one of the familiar spirits of a witch detected by the "witchfinder general" Matthew Hopkins in March 1644 in the town of Maningtree, Essex, UK. He claimed he spied on the witches as they held their meeting close by his house, and heard them mention the name of a local woman. She was arrested and deprived of sleep for four nights, at the end of which she confessed and named her familiars, describing their forms. They were: Holt Jarmara Vinegar Tom Sacke and Sugar Newes Ilemauzer Pyewacket Pecke in the Crowne Griezzel Greedigutt Hopkins says he and nine other witnesses saw the first five of these, which appeared in the forms described by the witch. Only the first of these was a cat; the next two were dogs, and the others were a black rabbit and a polecat. So its not clear whether Pyewacket was a cats name or not. As for the meanings, Hopkins says only that they were such that "no mortall could invent." The incident is described in Hopkinss pamphlet "The Discovery of Witches" (1647).
c.		In the famous Rape Scene, if you look closely Raquel Welch is not putting on a strap-on, but a gun belt with a six shooter in the holster.
d.		Phillips Lord and his character name "Seth Parker" appear above the title. They were familiar to 1931 audiences from the radio program on which the film is based. Some RKO executives, however, expressed concern that the radio program appealed only to older folks and that people 15 to 30 years old, do not listen to the program and would not go to see the movie.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Bell Book and Candle (1958)?

b.		Chapter Titles: 1. The League of Murdered Men, 2. The Death Plunge, 3. Murder Blockade, 4. Hangmans Noose, 5. Man Under Cover, 6. Under Crumbling Walls, 7. The Water Trap, 8. Murder By Proxy, 9. Gang Bait, 10., Mob Vengeance, 11. Wanted At Headquarters, 12. The Long Chance, 13. Law and Order

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Bell Book and Candle (1958)?
a.		After Britt tells Peter in the bathroom that shes pregnant, Peter spins the toilet paper and it doesnt stop rolling out. This same gag happens in Peter Sellerss film The Party.
b.		This was James Stewarts final appearance as a romantic lead. This was because many of the leading ladies that were playing his romantic interest were becoming younger and a few were half his age. The critics in 1958 felt that Stewart was miscast as a suave New York businessman, and he apparently agreed. After this film he would concentrate more on roles that portrayed him as an everyman or as a father figure.
