Enthralled
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.
