Frederic March is the descendant of a Puritan who has been cursed by witch Veronica Lake (rapidly becoming a new favourite) to always marry the wrong girl. She and her sorcerer father Cecil Kellaway (rather good) rematerialise and start to cause him trouble. Also involved are friend Robert Benchley and fiancée Susan Hayward.
Light, witty, sophisticated comedy, shot by Ted Tetzlaff and winningly scored by Roy Webb, with imaginative and funny special effects. A real treat which we'd somehow missed.
Wrtten by Robert Pirosh (
Rings on her Fingers) and Marc Connelly, from a story by Thorne Smith and Norman Matson.
