help I Married a Witch FAQ
Why is I Married a Witch often linked to Bewitched?
The 1942 film has a similar comic setup: a witch enters modern domestic life and creates romantic chaos. Bewitched came later on American television in 1964, so people often mention the film as one of the earlier screen versions of that fantasy-romance idea.
Who plays the witch in I Married a Witch?
Veronica Lake plays Jennifer, the witch who tries to torment the descendant of the man who condemned her. Fredric March plays Wallace Wooley, the politician who becomes the target of her revenge spell.
What is the curse at the center of I Married a Witch?
Jennifer and her father Daniel are executed in colonial New England, and they curse the Wooley family line with unhappy marriages. The 1942 story turns that curse into a screwball romance when Jennifer accidentally falls for Wallace Wooley herself.
Was I Married a Witch based on a book?
Yes, it was based on Thorne Smith's unfinished novel The Passionate Witch, later completed by Norman H. Matson. The film was directed by René Clair, a French director working in Hollywood during the 1940s.
