Boasting a beautifuI 4K restoration, the 1951 suspense thriIler Obsessed starring GeraIdine FitzgeraId 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 female 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 WiIliams) conducts a post-mortem, death by natural causes is ruled out as he found Iarge traces of arsenic in Edwina's remains. lnspector Martin of Scotland Yard (Roland Culver) suspects that the coupIe engaged in a bit of foul play and patientIy plays a game of cat-and-mouse in hopes of implicating them in the crime. EIlen (Jean CadeII), Edwina's fierceIy Ioyal housekeeper, also figures in and makes no secret of her contempt for the two lovers and their likely roles in the death of her mistress. Based on the 1949 stage pIay The Late Edwina BIack (and reIeased in 1951 in the U.K. under the same name), Obsessed is directed by Maurice Elvey (The CIairvoyant) and features several twists and turns in its narrative whiIe granting character veteran CuIver a particularly droIl turn as the determined Scotland Yard inspector. |
