Bewitched is B-tastic. No nose wiggling here, director Arch Oboler gave his directing debut with this movie of a girl who snaps the night before she marries. The voices in her head (eerily voiced by Audrey Totter) finally convince her to pick up and leave town, and they ultimately drive her to kill a loved one. With the clock ticking down to the electric chair buzz, her psychiatrist steps in to save the day before Hyde destroys Jekyll.

* “I have here a book from your own shelves, unread of course.”

This film was salvaged by the efforts of film restorer Jay Allan Fenton, who introduced the picture. I can’t say how much I appreciate the work that he and others perform to reconstruct old films that would otherwise be lost to the world.
