Interesting facts
Bewitched is a 1945 American film noir directed and written by Arch Oboler. The drama features Phyllis Thaxter and Edmund Gwenn.
Production
The film was produced in November–December 1944, while World War II was raging. It opens and closes with a voice over that justifies the telling of Joan's story at such a time.
According to Jeremy Arnold at TCM.com, the film “had an extremely low budget. But Oboler's radio expertise made the most of it, and he filled the picture with stylistic flourishes that came from radio. The use of sound effects, editing, stylized dialogue, and heightened, punchy music all reveal the radio influence.
