Short description
Three children evacuated from London during World War II are forced to stay with an eccentric spinster. The children's initial fears disappear when they find out she is in fact a trainee witch.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, Julie Andrews refused an offer to play the lead role in the film. She soon changed her mind, remembering that she owed a great deal to Walt Disney, and informed the film company of her agreement, but by that time Angela Lansbury had already been cast.
- Angela Lansbury detested what she called filming "by numbers," as was the case with this film, for which a detailed storyboard had been made in advance, so that every actor's movement was pre-written in the script and had to be followed strictly. Lansbury felt that the storyboard constrained her and prevented her from fully portraying her character.
