The film is shot as a modern romantic fantasy in New York, where a sophisticated young witch lives in an apartment with her Siamese cat and discreetly practices magic in everyday city life. A chance encounter with a charming publisher prompts her to cast a spell to get what she wants, but genuine affection begins to interfere with her confidence in witchcraft. The story combines a witty romance with an urban atmosphere and the contrast between exterior shots and controlled studio work.

Flatiron Building

In the Movie

Scene where the exterior of the building is shown to indicate the characters' presence at this famous Manhattan landmark; according to sources, the close-up with the actors was filmed not on the roof but on a soundstage, while the real exterior was used only as a backdrop.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the real Flatiron Building at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway — an iconic early skyscraper built in 1902, with a wedge shape and constant bustle at street level. It anchors the southern end of Madison Square and is often photographed from sidewalks and nearby intersections.
