I Married a Witch (Criterion Collection) (DVD)

Veronica Lake (SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS) 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 (DESIGN FOR LIVING'S Fredric March) about to marry a spoiled socialite (I WANT TO LIVE'S Susan Hayward). This most delightful of the films the innovative French director Rene Clair (LE MILLION) made in Hollywood is a comic confection bursting with playful special effects and sparkling witticisms.
