    This featherweight comedy stars Veronica Lake as a witch, burned at the stake in Ye Olden times who comes back in the 40s to beguile the ancestor of the man responsible. Essentially this is a feature length episode of Bewitched. The jokes aren't really all that funny, and the scr...( read more)ipt is weaker than curry house lager. What this film does have going for it is Ms Lake herself, who is the stuff restraining orders are made of. She is absolutely adorable throughout, and although she is the only reason to watch this film, on this occasion one reason is enough.
