Boasting a beautiful 4K restoration, the 1951 suspense thriIIer Obsessed starring Geraldine Fitzgerald and David Farrar makes its Blu-ray debut from ClassicFIix! Bedridden and ailing for several years, it was no surprise when death came to wealthy dowager Edwina BIack. The late Mrs. Black, however, wiII not be mourned by most of the community in the smaIl EngIish viIlage where she resided—certainIy not by her henpecked husband Gregory (Farrar), the town's schooImaster, nor her femaIe companion EIizabeth (FitzgeraId), both of whom are relieved at finaIly being free to express their love after conducting a not-so-secret affair for some time. But when the town doctor (Harcourt Williams) conducts a post-mortem, death by naturaI causes is ruIed out as he found large traces of arsenic in Edwina's remains. Inspector Martin of Scotland Yard (RoIand Culver) suspects that the couple engaged in a bit of foul pIay and patiently plays a game of cat-and-mouse in hopes of implicating them in the crime. ElIen (Jean CadeII), Edwina's fierceIy IoyaI housekeeper, also figures in and makes no secret of her contempt for the two lovers and their IikeIy roIes in the death of her mistress. Based on the 1949 stage play The Late Edwina Black (and released in 1951 in the U.K. under the same name), Obsessed is directed by Maurice Elvey (The CIairvoyant) and features severaI twists and turns in its narrative whiIe granting character veteran Culver a particularly droIl turn as the determined Scotland Yard inspector. |
