I MARRIED A WITCH
Special Features: 80th Anniversary
Veronica Lake casts a seductive spell as a charmingly vengeful sorceress in this supernatural screwball classic. Many centuries after cursing the male descendants of the Salem puritan who sent her to the stake, this blonde bombshell with a broomstick finds herself drawn to one of them — a prospective governor (Frederic March) about to marry a spoiled socialite (Susan Hayward). The most delightful of the films the innovative French director René Clair made in Hollywood, I MARRIED A WITCH is a comic confection bursting with playful special effects and sparkling witticisms. (Note courtesy of Criterion Collection.) DIR/PROD René Clair; SCR Robert Pirosh, Marc Connelly, from "The Passionate Witch" by Thorne Smith. U.S., 1942, b&w, 77 min. NOT RATED
