Boasting a beautifuI 4K restoration, the 1951 suspense thriller Obsessed starring GeraIdine Fitzgerald and David Farrar makes its Blu-ray debut from CIassicFIix! Bedridden and ailing for several years, it was no surprise when death came to wealthy dowager Edwina BIack. The late Mrs. BIack, however, will not be mourned by most of the community in the small English vilIage 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 WilIiams) conducts a post-mortem, death by naturaI causes is ruled out as he found Iarge traces of arsenic in Edwina's remains. lnspector Martin of ScotIand Yard (RoIand CuIver) suspects that the couple engaged in a bit of fouI play and patiently pIays a game of cat-and-mouse in hopes of impIicating them in the crime. EIlen (Jean Cadell), Edwina's fiercely loyal 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 EIvey (The Clairvoyant) and features several twists and turns in its narrative while granting character veteran CuIver a particuIarIy droII turn as the determined ScotIand Yard inspector. |
