Kim Novak makes a very good witch for most of this - all sultry eyes and ethereal nature. She sets her cap at James Stewart and puts him under a spell and shenanigans ensue involving his fiancee (Janice Rule), her brother (Jack Lemmon), a wacky writer (Ernie Kovacs), and a housekeeper who is also a witch (Elsa Lanchester).
Novak struggles a bit in the third act when she's required to actually fall in love with Stewart, but is she a film star as is he. It's got a glossy look, reminds me of the sort of thing my grandma used to love, old style sophistication. There's a comic cat.
