As I posted at Britmovie.Co.UK:

Night Of The Eagle (aka Burn, Witch, Burn) (1962)

A slow-burner of a witchcraft horror, starring Jason King - sorry, Peter Wyngarde - as a college lecturer who discovers his wife practices witchcraft. He plays it pretty straight while the world (along with his co-stars) falls apart. American-styled but also atmospherically black-and-white British, it manages to keep upping the pace until the finale... limps out like a birthday candle getting to the end of its wick.

Having said that, and period "special" (and I use that word quite wrongly) effects aside, I enjoyed it and recommend it to the House. :happy:

 A supernatural thriller involving a teacher who is a skeptic and witchcraft in his surroundings. In US it was distributed by American-International and retitled Burn Witch Burn. It is compared to The Curse Of The Demon. My recollection from watching it was that the story was not made understandable in the screenplay. "You had to read the book"? It did not make an impression on me.
If you want to try it out, I suggest do not read any descriptions of the story now, not the slightest summary, but see if you understand it on first viewing.

But how much better a title can you think of than Burn, Witch, Burn?
On Youtube I'm seeing this movie timed at ~1:47, 20 minutes longer than original. Don't know if there is 20 minutes of ads in them?
