WINTER OF THE WITCH
(1969)
DIRECTOR: Gerald Herman
STARS: Anna
Strasberg, Roger Morgan and Hermione Gingold as The Witch. Narrated
by Burgess Meredith.
SYNOPSIS: This is a childhood favorite! I remember going to grade
school in the mid 70's and seeing this film over & over because
all the kids in class always requested it. Finally a nice print has
been found! Based on a popular children's book it stars a single mom
and her son making a new life for themselves. They buy a house for
next to nothing because (unknown to them) it's haunted by an old
witch. They move in and find the place to be a real fixer-upper.
They also discover their scary "house guest" who lives in the attic.
Soon the boy befriends her and she doesn't seem so bad. She even
whips him up a batch of her magic blueberry pancakes. Once
eaten they cause a flurry of colored dots to appear before your
eyes. And they make you very, very happy. (I'll let you folks fill
in the drug jokes and references.) Needless to say, before
long the whole town is lining up for those wonderful pancake
delights. If you remember this from your childhood you just have to
see it again - it really holds up. And now you can share it with
your kids too! Based on the book "OLD BLACK WITCH" by Harry
& Wende Devlin. From a 16mm film
print.
BONUS: Because of the short running time
this disc also includes over 1hr of educational shorts as a bonus.
Fun classroom films from the 50's, 60's and 70's.
NOTE: This is a live action short film that
runs 22 minutes long - It is NOT a feature length film!! It is NOT
animated.
