Woman Obsessed (1959)

Directed by Henry Hathaway
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Exciting melodrama set in the Canadian wilderness. Susan Hayward loses her husband in a wildfire. She hires handyman Stephen Boyd to work the farm. He lives out in the barn for awhile, but eventually they marry. Many trials and tribulations follow: a blizzard, a thunderstorm, a raging river and a mudpit. The marriage suffers similar ups and downs. None of it is ever quite believable, but it has a way of drawing you in.
