I Married a Witch (Criterion Collection)

I've been waiting for at least 10 years for this hilarious film to be released on dvd for region 1. I owned the vhs, and it was a film I'd watch with family and friends every Halloween season....until dvds replaced vhs tapes. It's been a long wait. At one point, I even purchased a bootleg with Korean subtitles that was too awful to enjoy. I'm thrilled that it's getting the Criterion treatment that it deserves.

Veronica Lake is stunning as a witch who puts a curse on the descendants of the judge who convicted her of witchcraft in Puritan New England. Cecil Kellaway is charming. Fredric March plays the descendants from the 17th century until the present day (1942), doomed to suffer miserable marriages. Great sets, great costumes, great hair, great story by the writer of Topper. Lake must have been quite a diva. She and Fredric March loathed one another. March said working with her was the worst experience of his life, and he worked with Miriam Hopkins! Joel McCrea turned it down because he refused to work with her after Sullivan's Travels.

Speaking of divas, Susan Hayward is in it too!

this is a wonderful movie which has stood the test of time. this is the film which gave rise to Bewitched. Absolutely charming. My children loved it and i still enjoy watching it. Though Veronica Lake was reportedly impossible to work with, that doesn't come through in the film. All the acting is excellent. It's delightful, not at all slow paced (despite its age). i'm so glad that it's FINALLY available on DVD!

I first saw this film back in 2008 on TCM early in the morning. The comedy, direction, and story are all perfectly placed and will mesmerize any viewer who has respect for good filmmaking. Veronica Lake and Fredric March have great chemistry (although they hated each other in real life) and allow the film to move with great pace. Don't hesitate to order this one folks, its a real masterpiece that will surely impress!

Veronica Lake in my opinion, was one of Hollywood's most neglected stars. She was vibrant, sexy, beautiful, charming and just plain lovely. She made only a few films, compared to other actresses of her time. I am not really sure why there is so little of her work?

I have only seen 2 of her films, but she is just wonderful, clever and funny. Her films stand the test of time and she is always beautifully dressed..Adrian or was it Howard Greer or perhaps it was Edith Head??? Perhaps all 3 of these famous designers were used to make Veronica's costumes...not sure??

In any case, I love her films and her acting. I think she was/is just wonderful. I Married a Witch is cute, funny and just a marvelous film to watch over and over. Frederick March is just too adorable for words, his performance in this film is often disregarded because Veronica was sooo lovely, but he is a cutey too and very high Hollywood.

Thank you, Veronica!
