Howdy! I hope your weekend went well. This week we'll be watching the 1942 comedy I Married a Witch.
Wikipedia
Veronica Lake stars in this film as a 17th century witch named Jennifer who gets burned at the stake for witchcraft. Hungry for revenge, she curses her accuser's family, dooming every male for generations to fall in love with the wrong woman. Her ashes are spread around a tree, where her soul remains trapped for the next couple of centuries. Once freed, Jennifer finds the descendant of her accuser, a man named Wallace (Fredric March), and finds that her curse is still intact. She decides to mix it up a bit and creates a love potion to get Wallace to fall in love with her. As is often the case with these films, hilarity ensues as Jennifer's plan crumbles and she falls in love with Wallace. Here's the trailer:
I Married a Witch will be on this Thursday at our regular TNT time of 8pm EST. If you'd like to watch the film online instead, here's where you can rent it:
Hulu (with paid subscription) | Fandor (with paid subscription)
I want to say that I've seen one Veronica Lake film before, but I can't clearly remember. Either way, I like the premise of this film. It's predictable by today's standards, but it still sounds funny to me. I hope you'll be watching with me and I'll see you soon!
