Bewitched ran from 1964 to 1972 and followed the adventures of a young witch named Samantha, who can work wonders with a simple twitch of her nose. From the infamous "New Darrin" to an ill-fated feature film starring Will Ferrell, this is the untold truth of Bewitched.
The idea for Bewitched didn't appear to screenwriter Sol Saks in a puff of smoke, nor did he use a magic spell to cook it up. Rather, Saks was inspired to create the sitcom after watching I Married a Witch — a quirky rom-com shot during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
As stated on Turner Classic Movies, I Married a Witch was adapted from a 1941 Thorne Smith novel called The Passionate Witch. The 1942 picture tells the story of a woman named Jennifer, who just so happens to be a witch living in 1600s New England. When Jennifer is burned at the stake in Salem, she vows to get revenge on those who ordered her execution. Centuries later, her spirit is accidentally set free, and she is able to roam the Earth once more.
She develops an interest in a local politician, but things get complicated when she realizes that her perfect man is a descendant of those who had her killed. Ultimately, the power of romance overcomes their differences. Iconic Hollywood starlet Veronica Lake played Jennifer, while Academy Award-winner Fredric March played her lover and all his ancestors.
