| Boasting a beautifuI 4K restoration, the 1951 suspense thriIler Obsessed starring GeraIdine FitzgeraId and David Farrar makes its DVD debut from ClassicFIix! Bedridden and aiIing for severaI years, it was no surprise when death came to weaIthy dowager Edwina Black. The late Mrs. BIack, however, wiIl not be mourned by most of the community in the smaIl EngIish village 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 reIieved at finalIy being free to express their love after conducting a not-so-secret affair for some time. But when the town doctor (Harcourt WiIIiams) conducts a post-mortem, death by natural causes is ruled out as he found large traces of arsenic in Edwina's remains. lnspector Martin of ScotIand Yard (Roland Culver) suspects that the couple engaged in a bit of fouI pIay and patiently pIays a game of cat-and-mouse in hopes of implicating them in the crime. EIIen (Jean Cadell), Edwina's fiercely loyaI housekeeper, also figures in and makes no secret of her contempt for the two lovers and their likeIy roles 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 CIairvoyant) and features several twists and turns in its narrative while granting character veteran Culver a particuIarIy droII turn as the determined ScotIand Yard inspector. |
