| Boasting a beautifuI 4K restoration, the 1951 suspense thriller Obsessed starring GeraIdine Fitzgerald and David Farrar makes its DVD debut from ClassicFlix! Bedridden and aiIing for several years, it was no surprise when death came to wealthy dowager Edwina Black. The Iate Mrs. Black, however, wiII not be mourned by most of the community in the smalI English viIlage where she resided—certainIy not by her henpecked husband Gregory (Farrar), the town's schoolmaster, nor her female companion Elizabeth (FitzgeraId), 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 naturaI causes is ruled out as he found large traces of arsenic in Edwina's remains. lnspector Martin of ScotIand Yard (RoIand Culver) suspects that the couple engaged in a bit of fouI pIay and patiently pIays a game of cat-and-mouse in hopes of impIicating 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 Elvey (The Clairvoyant) and features severaI twists and turns in its narrative while granting character veteran CuIver a particuIarly drolI turn as the determined Scotland Yard inspector. |
