The film that first brought together stars Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson, Magnificent Obsession is one of Douglas Sirk’s most well-known melodramas.
The story begins when playboy Bob Merrick wrecks his speed boat, and the rescue team resuscitates him with equipment that's therefore unavailable to aid a local hero, Dr. Wayne Phillips. When Merrick discovers the tragedy, he sets out to put things right – but falls in love with Phillips’ widow along the way.
Working once again with cinematographer Russell Metty, Magnificent Obsession showcases director Sirk’s consummate visual style.
This event will begin at the advertised time with no ads or trailers.
