In Bell, Book & Candle (1958), the gentleman “from the Paris Chapter” who sings in French at The Zodiac Club is played by Phillippe Clay.  Surprisingly, he also appears in another of my favorite movies, Tuvalu (1999).  The song in BB&C is called “The Bored Assassin.”  Anyone know the lyrics?

Not surprisingly, Monsieur Clay had a history in mime.  There was an article in The Columbus Dispatch a few months ago about the decline of mime as an art form.  I don’t think of myself as a mime fan, but Kenneth Anger’s Rabbit’s Moon (1950) is one of my all-time favorite films.

I love when BB&C shows Pyewacket’s pov!  And Gillian’s red velvet dress.  Too bad they slapped the make up on Jimmy Stewart with a trowel.  He was only fifty!
