Movie Reviews of Magnificent Obsession
Movie Review: The investment of one's life in others...will be a magnificent obsession.
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is about a selfish millionaire playboy, Bob Merrick (played by Rock Hudson), who is involved in a boating accident that indirectly causes the death of a beloved local physician, Dr. Phillips, and the blindess of the doctor's wife (played by Jane Wyman). Bob Merrick deeply regrets all of the pain he has caused the doctor's family, and decides to abandon his old ways. He starts a new life focused on his "magnificent obsession", his dedication to helping others, which was inspired by the life philosophy of Dr. Phillips.
"Magnificent Obsession" is a beautiful melodrama about the power of love and redemption. The characters demonstrate the inspiring qualities of growth and inner strength during times of adversity. This is a touching love story that was beautifully filmed, has a lovely soundtrack, and was superbly acted. I highly recommend this film, and I hope that it becomes available on DVD soon!
