Plot Summary
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 (Fredric 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.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: I Married A Witch is spiritualism in a vein of knockabout farce. It is more oh-boy than occult. But its humor is Clair enough.
Fresh: Fans of Veronica Lake won't be disappointed; the special effects are nicely done too.
Fresh: Lake is delightfully effective as the malicious woman, whose ideas of punishment are often beautifully absurd, and March provides an excellent foil.
Fresh: It's short and wittily acerbic, and suggests that his confections may be worth re-assessment.

Bewitching Comedy!
Veronica Lakes' performance is magical and Frederic March plays the perfect victim in this romantic comedy. Everything plays out well and it leaves you smiling in the end. Criterion did this one well.
