I'm watching the recording I made off the TV, a few years ago of the film "Bell Book and Candle," starring James Stewart, Kim Novak, Ernie Kovacs and Jack Lemmon. In the film. Lemmon is the bongo playing brother of Kim Novak, a witch.

I saw this at the cinema in my late teens when it was released. As a jazz enthusiast, it was my introduction to the jazz trumpet playing duo, The Candoli Brothers. This film helped their career as shortly afterwards, they released an album "Bell Book & Candoli."
Although he's not mentioned in the credits, I recognised the guitarist as Barney Kessel.

Here's a clip.

Worth looking out for this film if you've not seen it before.
An unlikely romance, as in real life Stewart was 50 and Novak 25.
