Title: CLASSIC OF THE GENRE.
Product review: Despite the stupefying title, this is a keenly observed exploration of contemporary witchcraft. It's set on a college campus where the faculty wives know a lot more about the petty academic turf wars than their allegedly smarter husbands. Professor Norman Taylor (Peter Wyngarde) is in line for a big promotion. His wife, Tansy (Janet Blair) is sure her husband's charms and spells are responsible. The costumes, acting style, and attitudes are a cinematic primer on late fifties sexual conflicts and idenities. Stereotypes of male rationality and feminine intuition are sharpened to wicked points. In manner, dress, look, and bearing, Wyngarde is presented as a thoroughly - ah - masculine character. Although the conflicts are a bit slow to develop, the story becomes really involving half way through - and it maintains the suspence until the terrific ending.
