During World War II, eccentric, self-styled witch Eglantine Price (Angela Lansbury) aims to use her newfound powers to ward off a Nazi incursion of England. But she's saddled with a trio of fractious siblings who've been evacuated from London; to win them over, she pulls off an assortment of magic feats … and trips up a few Germans in the process. The film justifiably collected an Academy Award for Best Special Visual Effects.
