| Magnificent romance indeed.........!!
I am glad that at long last Criterion has taken this project and released this magnificent film on such a grand scale.

Magnificent Obsession video Typical 50's tear-jerker. Acting was excellent and Rock was just so handsome. One of many remakes that was better the second time around.

| BAD VIDEO QUALITY
Magnificent Obsession film I bought this 'castaways pictures' version of the movie and yes, it is the movie in bad visual quality. If you are easily annoyed with this, use the money toward the purchase of a better quality copy, which I wish I did.

Magnificent Obsession DVD Features
Reckless playboy Bob Merrick (Rock Hudson, in his breakthrough role) crashes his speedboat, requiring emergency attention from the town's only resuscitator—at the very moment that beloved local Dr. Phillips has a heart attack and dies waiting for the life-saving device. Thus begins one of Douglas Sirk's most flamboyant master classes in melodrama, a delirious Technicolor mix of the sudsy and the spiritual in which Bob and the doctor's widow, Helen (Jane Wyman), find themselves inextricably linked to one another amid a series of increasingly wild twists, turns, trials, and tribulations. For this release, Criterion also presents John M. Stahl's 1935 film version of the Lloyd C. Douglas novel, starring Irene Dunne and Robert Taylor.
