Flickchart Matchup of the Day
Bell Book and Candle vs Boys’ Night Out
Today is Kim Novak’s birthday, and they definitely don’t make ‘em like her anymore, so let’s celebrate with a matchup between two of her best silly movies. Vertigo is easily her best film but don’t overlook these two gems either. Bell, Book and Candle features a young Jack Lemmon, an ageing (but still great) Jimmy Stewart and a Kim as a crazy-hot witch. Boys’ Night Out is, in my opinion, the quintessential silly sex comedy of the early 60’s (back when they made 50 zillion a year). It heavy on the laughs and James Garner is such a great romantic lead. I give the nod to Boys’ Night Out, which is available through the Warner Archive.
