	Movies - I Married a Witch

I Married a Witch is a 1942 romantic comedy film, directed by René Clair. The popular 1960s television series Bewitched is based on this film.

Plot

Two witches in colonial Salem, Jennifer (Veronica Lake) and her father Daniel (Cecil Kellaway), are burned at the stake by the Puritan Jonathan Wooley (Fredric March) and their ashes buried beneath a tree to imprison their evil spirits. In revenge, Jennifer curses Wooley and all his male descendents - they are doomed to always marry the wrong person.

Centuries later, lightning splits the tree, freeing Jennifer and Daniel. They discover Wallace Wooley (March again), is running for governor and about to marry the ambitious Estelle Masterson (Susan Hayward). Jennifer decides to torment Wallace by getting him to drink a love potion and fall under her spell. The tables are turned however when she accidentally drinks the potion herself. Meanwhile, Wallace falls for her anyway.

Jennifer's father hates all Wooleys and tries to prevent Jennifer from marrying Wallace. Wallace on the other hand no longer wants to marry Estelle, but her father is his main political backer.
