Well, Wikipedia sayeth: > Creator [Sol Saks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_Saks)’ inspirations for this series[[5]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bewitched#cite_note-6) were the film _[I Married a Witch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Married_a_Witch)_ (1942), developed from [Thorne Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorne_Smith)’s unfinished novel _The Passionate Witch_, and the [John Van Druten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Van_Druten) Broadway play _[Bell, Book and Candle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell,_Book_and_Candle_(play))_, which was adapted into [the 1958 film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell,_Book_and_Candle).[[6]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bewitched#cite_note-Metz2-7) so we’re both right. ---
