October 30, 1942 –
Rene Clair’s second Hollywood film, the delightful romantic comedy, I Married A Witch, starring, Veronica Lake, Fredric March, Susan Hayworth, and Robert Benchley, premiered on this date.
Sol Saks, creator of Bewitched, stated in an interview for E! True Hollywood Story: Bewitched that he drew inspiration both from this film and Bell Book and Candle in creating the iconic TV series. Columbia Pictures owned the rights to both of those movies. Since it also owned the television studio that was to produce Bewitched, Saks didn’t worry about getting sued.
