This was a tv movie made in the 1980s that surfaced briefly on video before vanishing, and I was thrilled to see it on dvd. The story is set in a world where magic is real and mundane (they use pyrokinesis to light cigarettes), in a 1940s where the weather report comes from your local witch. The plot is intriguing, well written, and full of excellent dialogue, the cast are superb, and the whole film is well worth watching.
