I Married a Witch

I Married a Witch (1942) is a fantasy romantic comedy directed by René Clair — watch it online on iFILM. In 1672, a Puritan burns two witches at the stake. Before the flames take hold, they curse his bloodline: every male descendant will spend his life trapped with the wrong woman.

Nearly three centuries later, the witch Jennifer and her father claw their way back from the ashes to finish the job. Their target is Wallace, a politician about to marry the politically useful Estelle. Veronica Lake plays Jennifer with a gleaming mischief — part seduction, part sabotage. The love potion meant for Wallace goes the wrong way, and the witch finds herself bewitched by her own scheme. Fredric March and Susan Hayward round out a cast that keeps the screwball energy crackling.

Released in 1942, the film arrived as wartime escapism at its sharpest — no sermons, just wit. Stream I Married a Witch (1942) online on iFILM.
