Only two casting choices exist to play the Devil: Old Scratch himself... and Jack Nicholson. The Witches Of Eastwick took the better actor in this sly, sexy, supernatural comedy thriller. Three modern-day witches (Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer) yearn for Mr. Right in a New England Town. Is the arrival of wealthy and irresistible Daryl Van Horne (Nicholson) a coincidence - or the women's unconsious sorcery at work? Based on John Updike's bestseller, The Witches of Eastwick is a star-bright otherwordly delight. (Warner Bros. AU)
