you've got me in your spell

 



Thinking yesterday about noise and quiet, I remembered later how, in The Crown the Queen says the person representing the Crown is to give the people "the absence of noise."

Stability.


A video has appeared on You Tube, titled

"Bewitched 60th:  Anniversary Special."


Dodgy punctuation aside, the video is good.

It is by Daniel Henares.

51 minutes.

(If you run your m.you tube through Adblock, there are no commercials.)


I learned several new things I didn't know before, from this "Bewitched" celebration.


**  The original script WIlliam Asher and Elizabeth Montgomery had was titled "The Fun Couple."


**  Three different vocalists recorded the Bewitched theme song with lyrics.


**  The three original choices of actors to possibly play Darrin were:

        Dick York

        Dick Sargent

        Richard Crenna.


(York was Darrin for five seasons; Sargent played him in the remaining three seasons.)

I never knew Richard Crenna was looked at for this!  Crazy.  He was in my favorite film noir, Body Heat, as the shady, wealthy husband of Kathleen Turner's character.


        "Lotta guys you meet wanna get rich, wanna do it in one deal.  But - they aren't willing to - do what's necessary. ..."
