Review of Magnificent Obsession (1954) by Allan C — 02 Aug 2013
Douglas Sirk's breakout film is a terrific soaper of the first order. Rock Hudson is an irresponsible playboy and accidentally causes an accident that blinds Jane Wyman. Hudson then dedicates his life to making things right, becoming a doctor and pretending to be another man to Wyman, who then falls in love with him.
It's not as great as "All That Heaven Allows," but it's still a lot of fun if you're in the mood for an old soap opera.
