For the first time a Slamese cat will be a star of a motion picture, "Bell, Book And Candle," from the Broadway hit play.
On the stage the cat, Pyewacket, mostly ambled about, perched on his mistress's shoulder, or anvozed in laps. But when producers Julian Blaustein and Dàn Taradash bought the play for the movios they decided to build up the cat's role:
