The Witches of Eastwick
Description
Jack Nicholson is the devil you always knew he could be.
If you were searching for someone with irresistibly demonic dash to portray the Devil, you'd really have only two choices. Old Ned himself. And Jack Nicholson. The Witches of Eastwick took the better actor — two-time Academy Award winner Nicholson — and came up with the slyest, sleekest, sexiest supernatural comedy/thriller ever to emerge from this or any other world, earning Nicholson Best Actor laurels from both the New York and Los Angeles Film Critics.
The "witches" are three modern-day women yearning for Mr. Right in a quaint New England town full of Mr. Uptights. Played glowingly by Cher (Mask, Moonstruck), Susan Sarandon (Atlantic City, Compromising Positions) and Michelle Pfeiffer (Scarface, Ladyhawke), they're lovely enough to tempt even the most jaded denizen of the netherworld. Sure enough, wealthy Daryl Van Horne (Nicholson) arrives in town and sets out to prove himself a smooth-talking, eyebrow-wagging, tantrum-throwing devil with the ladies. Is his sudden appearance a coincidence? Or the outcome of the women's unconscious sorcery?
Based on John Updike's best-selling novel and directed by the Mad Max trilogy's George Miller, The Witches of Eastwick bubbles and froths in a heady witches brew of stars, comedy, mystery, and spectacular special effects. The result is a film to savor, a 1987 Top 10 box-office smash that's "easily one of the funniest, most stylish, savvy, brilliantly made thrillers in a long time." (Jeffrey Lyons, Sneak Previews/INN).
Conjure up an evening's entertainment with The Witches of Eastwick. And have a devil of a good time.
