Eppur si muove "nevertheless, it moves"

Professor Saylor and his wife Tansy are newcomers to the university. Even though they are not made of the same conservative material as the others, they seem to be doing quite well. Professor Norman Saylor of the sociology department is the author of “Parallelism in Superstition and Neurosis.” He gets this irresistible urge to snoop around in Tansy’s personals and is surprised to find that she is a practitioner of the craft. He is not upset and only wants to help her to free herself by burning all the paraphernalia (except her diary). It is not hard to guess what happens next. Yep, his life falls apart, and he is destined to be run over by a truck if other evil things do not get to him first. He finds that there are more evil forces at work (all female, of course), each with her own agenda. The real question is does Norman ever get sucked up in the system or is he still convinced that it is just a coincidence? As with most movies that are an abbreviation of the book, the one made for his story has the same feel, “Night of the Eagle, aka Burn Witch Burn” (1962) with Peter Wyngarde as Norman, and Janet Blair as Tansy.
