My goodness, what a silly movie! I can imagine it's fun for children or preteens to watch, but for grown-ups? It makes Sabrina the Teenage Witch seem as serious as Gone with the Wind. If you're in for a good laugh, go for it; just know what you're getting into.
Veronica Lake, a witch, and her father, Cecil Kellaway, have been tormenting a particular family since the Salem witch trials. In present day 1942, political candidate Fredric March is about to get married to Susan Hayward. Veronica transforms her smoky witch essence into a human body and uses her magical powers to distract Fred from his betrothed. Ruin his engagement and the curse will continue, she thinks. But when he resists and she accidentally drinks the love potion intended for him, hilarity ensues.
Well, for children it will be hilarious. But I found it rather silly, and it weren't for Fredric March, I probably would have turned it off. Veronica was a terrible actress, and I was never charmed by her trademark hairstyle. If you absolutely love movies about witches, try watching Bell Book and Candle instead. The plots are similar but it's much cuter, and the girl is infinitely prettier.
