Book:  The Passionate Bride (1941) by Thorne Smith ​ Film:  I Married A Witch (1942) ​ Directed by Rene Clair and starring Fredric March, Veronica Lake, Susan Hayward and Cecil Kellaway, the film would be the basis for the hit 1960's television programme Bewitched. ​ Based on the book by Thorne Smith who also wrote the very popular Topper book which was also made into a successful film and television show, he would die before finishing the book.  The book was posthumously finished by Norman M Matson. ​ The comedic film plays for laughs and is a social commentary of the times, unfortunately there was alot of trouble on the set as no one seemed to get along.  Now that is what we call acting.   Opening Credits; Introduction (.36);  Forming the Plot (12.02); Film Short (44.17); Story Geeks – What to Watch This Week (45.07); Film Trailer (48.39);  Lights, Camera, Action (50.08); Epilogue (1:17.15); End Credits (1:22.52); Closing Credits (1:24.29)   Opening Credits– Theme Song from Bewitched Television Show by Jack Keller   Closing Credits – Closing Credits from Bewitched Television Show by Jack Keller   Copyright owned by Screen Gems.   All rights reserved.
