Scarecrowber: Bell, Book and Candle
Opens October 7, 2024
Gillian Holroyd (Kim Novak) is a witch living a happy life in her insular Greenwich Village community—she has friends, a favorite spooky social club, and a successful business selling enchanted wares from across the globe. But she harbors a secret longing for human emotion and love, the one thing she can’t enjoy as a witch. Her brother Nicky (Jack Lemmon) has no such desires and lives his life as a playful warlock, eager to ensnare their new neighbor Shep (Jimmy Stewart) for Gillian when she takes an interest in him. Although framed as a lighthearted romance, Gillian’s story reflects her search for a deeper connection to human empathy. In achieving her goal, she also gains some of the things that go along with it--loneliness and regret. Anyone who has longed to make a leap from their own comfort zone will root for Gillian and be charmed all the way to the final scene. —Megan McNelis

In the late 1950s, Gillian Holroyd (Kim Novak) is a modern-day witch living in New York City's Greenwich Village. When she encounters charming publisher Shepherd Henderson (James Stewart), she decides to make him hers by casting a love spell.
