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.
