The Nazi content bookends the story, which is set in 1940, and also provides its motivation, since eccentric protagonist Eglantine Price (Lansbury, who is perfect) decides to become a witch specifically to assist the British war effort. She’s less than enthused about another World War II-adjacent service she’s asked to provide, housing orphans who’ve fled the Blitz in London, but she agrees to do it anyway. That’s how she meets the scrappy Rawlins siblings: Charlie (Ian Weighhill), Carrie (Cindy O’Callaghan), and Paul (Roy Snart).
The kids soon discover her secret and have big plans to blackmail her, so she imbues a bedknob with a spell that allows the kids’ bed to magically zip around. In London, where they’ve gone to track down the incantation Miss Price needs to put her anti-Nazi plan into play, they meet Professor Emelius Browne (Tomlinson), a chipper con man who’s sort of a Wizard of Oz type. He admits he mostly made up the spells for Miss Price’s witchcraft

Theatrical sorcery will be front and centre in the new stage version of the beloved Disney film Bedknobs And Broomsticks.
The 1971 movie musical starred Angela Lansbury as Miss Eglantine Price, an apprentice witch trying to conjure up duff spells, sold to her by fake magician Professor Emelius Browne (David Tomlinson), to stop the enemy from invading wartime Britain.
Her magical war efforts are taking place as her own life is being invaded: by three children, evacuated from London and sent to live with her in the quaint coastal village of Pepperinge Eye.
I saw the film as a kid and was amused, years later, to learn that, like Mary Poppins, it was all filmed on Hollywood sound stages!
