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

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

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.

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