John Updike

The Witches of Eastwick -- The 'witches' are in three modern-day women yearning for Mr. Right in a quaint New England town full of Mr. Uptights.

Oscar and Golden Globe-nominee James Caan ("Misery," "The Godfather") stars as a one-time basketball star who finds the realities of life are tougher than those on the playing field. Based on the brilliant novel by John Updike and featuring a superb supporting cast. Co-starring Oscar and Emmy-winner Jack Albertson ("Chico and the Man"), Arthur Hill ("The Champ"), Oscar-nominee Carrie Snodgrass ("Diary of a Mad Housewife"), and Ken Kercheval ("Dallas").

The "witches" are in three modern-day women yearning for Mr. Right in a quaint New England town full of Mr. Uptights. Played glowingly by Cher (Moonstruck), Susan Sarandon (Lorenzo's Oil) and Michelle Pfeiffer (The Age of Innocence), they're lovely enough to tempt even the most jaded netherworld denizen. Soon, wealthy Daryl van Horne (Nicholson) arrives. Is his sudden appearance a coincidence or the outcome of the women's unconscious sorcery in this smooth adaptation of John Updyke's novel?
