Aro Recommended Magnificent Obsession

 

USA 1954, 108 minutes
Dir. Douglas Sirk
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Classics, Drama

Feat. Rock Hudson, Jane Wyman

 

Aroview: Douglas Sirk's famously tumultuous melodrama, starring Rock Hudson in his first leading role as a guilt-ridden playboy indirectly responsible for the death of a much-respected doctor.

When his apologies go unnoticed, Rock turns to nursing the doctor's blinded wife back to health - including becoming a physician to perform her sight-restoring surgery! A preposterous weepie transcended entirely by Sirk's masterful direction.
