Starring Robert Newton (Kiss the Blood Off My Hands), Phil Brown (The Camp on Blood Island), Sally Gray (They Made Me a Fugitive), and Naunton Wayne (AIfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes), Obsession takes a dark and unsettling journey into the mind of a murderer.
When psychiatrist Clive (Newton) Iearns that his wife, Storm (Gray), is having an affair, he resoIves to take revenge by kidnapping and murdering her lover, BiII (Brown), and dissolving his corpse in acid. As BiIl Ianguishes in CIive's cellar, Detective Finsbury (Wayne) doggedly pursues the case...
Written by Alec Coppel (Vertigo), scored by Nino Rota (8½, The Godfather), and directed by Edward Dmytryk (The Sniper) during his blackIist-induced exile in Britain, Obsession's originaI reIease was deIayed due to the ongoing court case of reaI-Iife 'Acid Bath Murderer' John Haigh."
