Review of I Married a Witch (1942) by Indira S — 13 Oct 2012

Charming screwball romantic comedy about Salem witch, Veronica Lake, returning from the grave to torment the ancestor of her executioner, Fredrick March, who she ends up falling in love with. Lake and March apparently hated each other off-screen, but it doesn't seem to hurt the film at all or is even noticeable when watching the film.

Joel McCrae was originally cast in the March role, but dropped out because he didn't want to work again with Lake. Preston Sturges was also connected to the film in it's development stage and also worked on the script, and the film benefits from having a Sturges vibe to it.

"Bell, Book and Candle" is still the best romantic witch film, but this one is quite good.
