a movie about a man desperately trying *not* to fall in love with Veronica Lake. unsurprisingly, it's very short.
I miss the days when a witch could be a mankiller, sexy, alluring, powerful. Now we have "realism" with our witches and it's very boring. Veronica Lake is where it's at, and I Married a Witch goes down like warm tea. Pleasant cinema.
i never knew what true horror was until i found out it was possible to hear your dead, drunk grandpa speak from inside a bottle locked up behind bars
For a while, it looked like this film would have the unexpected idea that it was better to marry a bride of Satan than enter a loveless marriage for the sake of power, but the witch's eventual rejection of her evil ways and Wally's speeches about how love works derailed that brief moment of subversiveness (the noun form of subversive should be "subversity," damn it). So the happy ending is instead that she renounced her power to get married, which doesn't sit quite as well.
It's still a visually appealing film, with its cheezy smoke effects (which were probably not that cheezy back then, and that's what makes them even more fun) and its free-moving brooms and its simple cinema…
When is it my turn to transform into a moving cloud of smoke that lasts for centuries living inside a tree?
"love is stronger than witchcraft" that's cute and all but it's just not realistic ,, ain't nothing more powerful than vvitches and y’all should know this by now !
maybe im over rating this because ive been in a weird mood for the past week but this was so light and cute and exactly what I needed so who cares
