I Married a Witch (1942 Rene Clair)

There's a wonderful moment near the beginning where Fredric March is engaged in conversation with his horrible fiancee Susan Hayward and whatever reply he gives her is masked by thunder; a little later on, two bottles talk to each other. Robert Pirosh and Mark Connelly adapted Thorne Smith's story 'The Passionate Witch' with great success. Clair also made The Ghost Goes West in 1935.

With March are Veronica Lake (dead by 50), Cecil Kellaway, Robert Benchley, Robert Warwick and Robert Greig (town crier). It's photographed by Ted Tetzlaff.
