I Married a Witch

 

                                  The election is finally gone though it's been gone for a few weeks ago, but deep-down what’s great about the election being over is that we don't have to watch or hear any of those awful smear campaign ads. But through the course of this year’s election, I begin to have a theory that most of the politicians who run for politics sell their soul to Satan, and this latest film I watched pretty much sum up my theory on politicians of today. I married a Witch is a story about a Governor running for office who mysteriously falls in love with a witch. For which come on it makes more sense because look at Jimmy Carter the man sold his soul to Satan and in return, he's cursed to live forever but in old age. Furthermore, this was my first introduction to Veronica Lake and though she's been dead for quite some time that woman is gorgeous, like if this woman came into my life, I would say thank you lord.

                                  Just as she is about to be burned at the stake for witchcraft, 17th century witch Jennifer (Veronica Lake) cast a curse on the family of her accuser, dooming all the men of future generations to marry the wrong woman. Freed from her ethereal prison some 250 years later, Jennifer decides to make the most recent descendant of her accuser (Fredric March) even more miserably by using a love potion on him that makes him fall in love with her, a plan that has unexpected results.

                                  The movie was on my radar for quite some time, and I never knew which month to use this film for either in October or the election for many reasons they both have the themes of politics and Halloween but as faith would happen its best use for post-election. A fun fact about I married a Witch is that the film itself was one of the many inspirations television creator Sol Saks used for his TV hit Bewitched and even though the movie and show were owned by different movie studios, Saks himself didn't feel worried about being sued. For a film that was made in early forties I have to admit that the visual effects we're impressive especially when these types of effects were either a hit or a miss and some of the effects where Lake is sliding back up a stair case I felt like I was jumping out of my body like a bad acid effect just feeling a bit to tripe if you catch my meaning. Now I'll say it again that this was my first experience watching a Veronica Lake movie and I had no idea how beautiful she looks on screen especially when she's sitting on a chair with a fur coat and her hair out it's like "damn" I mean if I was Fredric March I would simply be like hello love of my life and call up my fiancée and simply tell her to f off and express how annoyed and miserable I feel when she's being a bitch, and yet the funny think is the actor has no spine through the course of the movie until the third act and I'm no expert at love but guys if you find a woman whose eyeing you, you go for that girl no matter if you’re in a relationship that's making you miserable. Granted if I was rewriting this movie, I will simply have the woman tell the dude if he loves her and if he's still refusing show the victim of the last man she's been with and then give him a realization "I guess I can love a beautiful woman like you especially if it's Veronica Lake. The interesting thing is Veronica Lake's iconic hair style of having her right eye covered, many women copied the style which caused problems because most women were working in war plants and their hair kept getting caught in the machinery. Now granted this was the fab back then but I would simply tell the ladies in just using that hair style when you go out, because after this news got out Lake was asked her style until after the war is over but then it was too late because she was out of a job as well as her popularity. For a movie that I found at Max I have to say that this was a nice piece of hidden treasure to find and the plot speaks for itself of being an intriguing movie to watch. So, no question I would recommend watching this movie especially when you can find the film on both Max and YouTube. Though I want to share one piece of advice to anyone wanting to get into politics never marry a witch or sell your soul to Satan you don't want to be like Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi, hell I'm still in the belief that Pelosi is a bad witch for a long time and not even the good kinds of witches that looks more beautiful than Veronica Lake and this is the same woman who took her mask of during Covid and blamed a worker for it so again, one of the worst witches ever, don't believe me look at her and Hilary Clinton because they both use their own marriages to get what they want in life so there's no secret they're both witches.
