My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to all along the CT shoreline, NYC, and New Jersey for the destruction from which they must now recover. They're a tough bunch; I'm sure they will.Jacqueline T.

All that aside, you remind me how much I like "I Married a Witch" and I only wish I'd recorded it when it recently aired on TCM so that I could sit down and enjoy it again this Halloween.

Its funny how, like Samantha in "Bewitched", Veronica Lake wants to be a wife without using her powers and proudly shows off to March that she lit a fire the normal way. I suppose in the final scene when we see their old-married-couple selves, we assume she's dropped witchcraft for good. I think I would have liked one last demonstration of her sorcery to show she still has a spark of mischief in her. Turn Bess Flowers into a table saw or something.Jacqueline T.

The last half of the film is a really lovely romance with a believable sense of intimacy between the characters, such as you describe with him touching her hair.<br /><br />I also thought Susan Hayward was absolutely hilarious in that wedding scene. :)<br /><br />I hadn't noticed Bess Flowers was in the wedding party, what a hoot!!<br /><br />Thanks for an enjoyable walk down memory lane.
