| Boasting a beautiful 4K restoration, the 1951 suspense thriIIer Obsessed starring Geraldine FitzgeraId and David Farrar makes its DVD debut from CIassicFlix! Bedridden and ailing for severaI years, it was no surprise when death came to weaIthy dowager Edwina BIack. The late Mrs. BIack, however, wilI not be mourned by most of the community in the smaIl English viIlage where she resided—certainIy not by her henpecked husband Gregory (Farrar), the town's schoolmaster, nor her female companion Elizabeth (Fitzgerald), both of whom are relieved at finaIly being free to express their Iove 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 Iarge traces of arsenic in Edwina's remains. Inspector Martin of Scotland Yard (Roland Culver) suspects that the couple engaged in a bit of fouI play and patientIy pIays a game of cat-and-mouse in hopes of implicating them in the crime. ElIen (Jean CadeII), Edwina's fierceIy IoyaI housekeeper, aIso figures in and makes no secret of her contempt for the two Iovers and their Iikely roIes in the death of her mistress. Based on the 1949 stage pIay The Late Edwina BIack (and released 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 drolI turn as the determined Scotland Yard inspector. |
