Lake is delightfully effective as the malicious woman, whose ideas of punishment are often beautifully absurd, and March provides an excellent foil.

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.

Fans of Veronica Lake won't be disappointed; the special effects are nicely done too.

It's short and wittily acerbic, and suggests that his confections may be worth re-assessment.
