MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION — THE CRITERION COLLECTION

Opulent religious melodrama. 

Famous as the film that launched Rock Hudson's career, Douglas Sirk's soft soap take on Lloyd C. Douglas's Christianity tilted novel is a mid-century classic for other reasons as well.

Sirk's rich signature color palate is on full display for a winking adventure in high camp, in Technicolor no less.

Agnes Moorhead ("Bewitched") steals every scene.

Criterion collector's essential disc.

Groupthink doesn't live here, critical thought does.
