Bell, Book, and Candle was a 1958 movie, from a play by John van Druten. The original play has been sited as a representation of gays and lesbians in the fifties. They point to the Greenwich Village local, the 'hidden society', the outsider status, the gathering in special clubs... I thought 'slash', and I thought, "Why not?" *grin* It starred Jimmy Stewart, Kim Novak, Jack Lemmon, Elsa Lanchester, and Ernie Kovacs. I will be swapping a few characters' genders, and 'recasting' a few roles. If you don't agree with my choices, feel free to visualize whoever else you'd like playing the part.

This will be in the form of Character Name (original name if it is adjusted)--Actor Name--Original Actor

Sheppard Henderson--Harrison Ford (during his Witness phase)--Jimmy Stewart
Gilbert 'Gil' Holroyd (Gillian)--Orlando Bloom--Kim Novak
Nicky Holroyd--Jack Lemmon (Yes, he's so perfect that I'm not changing this one)
Sidney Redlitch--Ernie Kovacs (Same here. Genius comedian of early television)
Mrs. DePass--Kathy Bates--Hermione Gingold
Queenie--Nathan Lane--Elsa Lanchester
Merle Kittridge--Reese Witherspoon--Janice Rule
Coven witches to be designated at a later date.
