Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia$50 in 1965 is about $450 in 2022 U.S. dollars, still a pretty low budget for putting on a fund-raising event, but not bad for a single day's work for an unemployed magician with a drinking problem.
- GoofsDuring the lunch in the opening scenes, when Gladys Kravitz tells Samantha she's been elected chairwoman, June Foster says "Congratulations, Elizabeth" and then quickly glances at the off stage crew.
- Quotes
Gladys Kravitz: Did you see that?
Samantha Stephens: I certainly did. It was almost like magic.
- Alternate versionsAlso shown in computer colorized version.
Featured review
Magic overlaid with magic
Gladys Kravitz treats Sam much more politely when a women's committee needs a new pigeon to head the entertainment committee for a hospital benefit. With only $50 to work with, she hires a broken down alcoholic magician to perform. After a couple of tricks to cut down on his drinking, she has to give his magic a boost at the show.
Seeing Elizabeth Montgomery in the sequined gown the picked as she substituted for the magician's assistant was a high point of the show. :-) Of course, when some of his tricks had unusual outcomes, Gladys Kravitz suspects Sam of more "unusual activity".
Things complicate when The Great Zeno is subsequently hired for a TV spot ...
