Synopsis
In the small New England town of Eastwick, three women friends - shy music teacher Jane Spofford, potter Alexandra Medford and journalist/mother Sukie Ridgemont - discover that when they come together their mutual wishes can cause things to happen in the real world. They idly wish they could each find their perfect man and the very next day Darryl Van Horne arrives in town. He proceeds to seduce all three of the women, appearing to each as their perfect man incarnate. The four of them become the scandal of the town, but after an incident involving one of the town's ultra conservative citizens, the three women begin to understand how and why Daryl is able to mesmerize them so fully...

Critics' reviews
- "'The Witches of Eastwick' does have enough flamboyance to hold the attention, directed as it has been by Mr. Miller in a bright, flashy, exclamatory style. But beneath the surface charm there is too much confusion"
- "'The Witches of Eastwick' is filmmaking of a very high order; it's also a great time at the movies."
- "An uproarious and entirely successful attempt to examine the differences between the sexes by couching the examination in mythological terms. "
