FILM: Magnificent Obsession (U)
|
Dir. Douglas Sirk, USA 1954, 1h 48m |
A playboy attempts to redeem himself after causing the death of a doctor and the incurable blindness of his widow in this Technicolor spectacular that launched the A-list careers of Rock Hudson and director Douglas Sirk. Magnificent Obsession is passionate melodrama, exaggerated social satire and Freudian allegory, a rich and immersive viewing experience, which is among Sirk’s most beautiful and memorable.
