Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what city does the movie take place?

Answer: New York City

There's actually only one "true" location shot in the whole movie, which pans from the top of the Chrysler building down to the street, and gives a breathtaking view of the city and Central Park.

2. Gillian has a successful store front. At the beginning of the film, what is it that she sells?

Answer: Tribal Masks

The night Gillian meets Shep, he is borrowing her phone. He comments about the unusual merchandise she sells, and asks how she managed to get interested in it. She enigmatically replies: "Oh I majored in Anthropology in college."

3. What is the name of the club that Merle and Shep visit the night before they are getting married?

Answer: The Zodiac

Queenie comes into Gillian's store, begging her to change her mind and come to The Zodiac, and enlists Shep's help to make her come. Later that night, we see Shep and his fiancee stumbling around in the snow looking for it. "I know it's got to be around here somewhere, I looked it up in the directory!"

4. Merle and Gillian, as it turns out, know each other. How is this?

Answer: They went to college together

It's obvious that Merle and Gillian do not like each other. Gillian proceeds to create a "thunderstorm" in the club with the help of her brother's band to scare Merle, since Merle hated thunderstorms.

5. Jack Lemmon, one of the best comedic actors ever, plays Gillian's brother Nicky. Nicky works at The Zodiac in the band. What instrument does he play?

Answer: Bongos

The scene of Jack Lemmon playing the bongos is absolutely priceless. His facial expressions are absolutely hysterical, especially when he proceeds to be the "magical" accomplice in the thunderstorms.

6. Gillian decides to cast a spell to make Shep leave Merle and fall in love with her. How does she do this?

Answer: She uses her cat

Pyewacket the cat was the real show stealer of the movie. In witchcraft, many times witches would use "familiars", animals that act as servants to do the witches bidding. Pyewacket is actually the name of a supposedly real familiar that was recorded in England in the 1600's. Pretty ingenious for the writer to use the name, huh?

7. There's one thing that can make a witch lose her powers, according to Queenie. What is it?

Answer: Fall in love

Elsa Lanchester, in a splendidly funny role as Gillian's aunt, relays a story to Gillian about a friend who fell in love with a mortal and lost her powers.

8. After Shep realizes that Gillian is a witch and has put a spell on him, he moves out of the building. Before he leaves, he gives her something. What is it?

Answer: A Broom

"Have broom - will travel!" This is the final confrontation that the wacky Mrs. DePasse makes Shep perform to rid himself of the spell Gillian has cast on him.

9. Shep cannot leave while the spell is in effect.

Answer: True

This is by far the funniest scene in the whole movie. After Shep yells at Gillian and storms out of her store, he comes back in yelling "Taxi! Taxi!" and then realizes he's right back where he started.

10. At the end of the movie, Gillian is selling different merchandise in her store. What is it?

Answer: Seashell Arrangements

Her store, and her clothing have completely changed to that of a demure woman. Love rang the bell, closed the book, and snuffed the candle.
