In the 1950’s, two studios seemed to have a lock in producing melodramatic movies of high quality: 20th Century Fox (Peyton Place being the most notable example) and Universal-International. The latter studio benefited from the presence of Douglas Sirk, a director who began his career in Germany before moving to Hollywood in the 1940’s. It’s here with Magnificent Obsession – a remake of a 1935 film produced by the studio – that Sirk would really hit his stride and become a master of the melodrama. Criterion upgrades their previous DVD release with a brand new Blu-ray release of both the 1935 and 1954 versions of the movie.
