Review of Magnificent Obsession (1954) by Matt M — 07 Jun 2013

A reckless playboy has to use the town's only life support machine and as a result causes the death of an elderly doctor. In his clumsy attempt to an apology, he causes another accident that leaves the doctor's daughter completely blind.

Sirk's drama is a deeply compelling film with hard hitting turns of events, and a genuinely harrowing look at both family values and personal values. Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman are just wonderful.
