Bewitched (1945)
3/10
Short melodrama
3 December 2023
If you're in the mood for one of those very short, old, B-pictures to have on in the background while you're making dinner or finishing up some paperwork, you can try out the obscure Bewitched. No, it has nothing to do with the Frank Sinatra standard. Instead, it's a thriller starring Phyllis Thaxter as a woman who hears voices. She starts off as a happy fiancé to Henry Daniels Jr., but there's an evil voice in her head tormenting her. As the voices get worse and worse, she runs away and tries to start fresh. But will her new romance with Stephen McNally be enough to cure her mental problems?

Easily imaginable as a short magazine article or a thin paperback novel with an outrageous drawing on the cover, the film could have been titled "The Voice In My Head" or "She Made Me Do It!" It's very melodramatic, and while you could feel sorry for the actors who were assigned to it by the studio, you could also just take it for what it is: an hour-long B-picture that was most likely a double feature. It won't harm anyone, but it's also not really worth anyone's time.
