BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE by artist Joan CharlesAcrylic on canvas board, 7 x 5", framed to 10. 5 x 8. 5" About the piece: One of my favorite films is Bell, Book and Candle. Set in Greenwich Village in the late 1950s, the costumes and sets are both stylish and stunning. The plot is pretty fun, too Gillian, a beautiful witch, puts love a spell on her neighbor and ends up falling in love herself. Central to the action is Gillians Siamese cat Pyewacket, who weaves a magical spell throughout the movie.
