Our brief, entertaining Annual Meeting is a great way to meet and catch up with old and new friends and find out what the SEF has been up to this year. Renew your membership, or get information about joining SEF.
Then it’s on to the film…
”A WITCH WITHOUT A BROOM (1967), aka UNA BRUJA SIN ESCOBA – Zeus DVDs (yes, really!) says of the film: “An inflamed Spanish witch takes a visiting American professor on a journey through the ages in this time-travel fantasy. The witch, a mere novice, originally comes from the 15th century. She takes him back with her. Unfortunately, her magic isn’t reliable and she can’t figure out how to get him home. Instead they begin visiting different centuries ranging from prehistoric times to the future. Eventually, the witch’s father intervenes and returns the professor to his own time.”
Well, I wouldn’t have used ‘inflamed witch’ to describe Maria Perschy’s character – infatuated is a better description. She wants Jeffrey Hunter’s college professor all to herself and instead keeps landing herself and him in different time periods, all of which have other women competing for his affections, from prehistoric and Roman times to the Spanish Inquistion and the far future, where he winds up the only man among the last seven women left to repopulate the Earth.
A true forgotten film of the ‘60s, this one BEGS to be seen by Conjure Cinema devotees – sharpen up your best MST3K repartee and let loose on this amazing stinker – it was made to be in the mold of BEWITCHED and I DREAM OF JEANNIE, but it’s much, MUCH worse! And as always, we’ll have our amazing short subjects before the film – join us!”
