In 1966, “Bewitched” Facing a tight deadline on the Stern Chemical account, overworked adman Darrin Stephens (Dick York) has to cancel a vacation with his beautiful witch of a wife Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery).

In an athletic double performance by York, Darrinʹs hedonistic half becomes a Watusi-ing mass of irresponsibility, while his workaholic half is so all-business he nearly runs client Sanford Stern (Frank Maxwell) and boss Larry Tate (David White) into the ground. “Divided He Falls” was so delicious that when Dick Sergeant replaced York on the show in 1969, the first episode he filmed was a remake of this one.
