Before there was Fatal Attraction's Alex Forrest there was Joan Crawford's portrayal of Louise Howell, a woman madly obsessed with a man. Possessed is a must-watch for fans of Crawford.
-
This movie of obsession has been replayed much better since Possessed but it is nonetheless a memorable film thanks to the great Joan Crawford. Nice plot twists.

What a great film to see for Mother's day! Crawford's obsession and descent to madness is quite believable. Van Heflin has all the great lines and plays the rakish cad perfectly.

I was completly expecting a different thing. Something between paranormal and suspense...but no. The movie is about this woman with serious mental problems. Filmed back in 1947 but impecable directed, the camera angles are great. Almost everything is really good, the acting, the cinematography, the story. The end I feel that needs a little more punch, but well, minor detail. So rent it, look for it or buy it. Oh!, and Geraldine Brooks...O_O wow.
