Movie Info
As she burns at the stake, a 17th century witch, Jennifer (Veronica Lake), places a curse on her accuser (Fredric March), so that from this day forward, all of his descendants (each played by him) will be unhappy in marriage. After several hilarious through-the-years examples (the Civil War-era Fredric March runs off to battle rather than endure his wife's nagging), we are brought up to 1942. Wallace Wooley (March) is a gubernatorial candidate, preparing to wed snooty socialite Estelle Masterson

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.
Top CriticLake is delightfully effective as the malicious woman, whose ideas of punishment are often beautifully absurd, and March provides an excellent foil.
Fans of Veronica Lake won't be disappointed; the special effects are nicely done too.
A strange but charming comedy fantasy by French director Rene Clair made in Hollywood with Veronica Lake.
Delightful American romantic/comedy fantasy film.
Screwball comedy with real bite as beautiful witch torments stodgy politician
Magical.
Delightful fantasy.
Entertaining whimsy; not unlike 'Bewitched'
An accomplished confection, Witch is required Halloween viewing.
It's short and wittily acerbic, and suggests that his confections may be worth re-assessment.
Charming and clever Rene Clair comedy
