Woman Obsessed Reviews

After garnering a long-time-coming and much deserved Academy Award for I Want to Live!, Susan Hayward spent most of the remainder of her film career in a series of overwrought melodramas, some (Back Street) better than others (Where Love Has Gone). Henry Hathaway’s Woman Obsessed was the film she made immediately following her Oscar-winning effort, and it’s hardly worthy of her talents. Rather limply written and performed by its stars at a white-hot, hyper-strained peak, Woman Obsessed does no one any favors. Everyone's trying hard to make the quagmire of the poorly realized plot work, but the film really only works in fits and starts.
