Driven to the edge by his wife's infidelity, he orchestrates a sinister revenge. Written by Alec Coppel, who would later co-write <i>Vertigo</i>, and scored by the great Italian composer Nino Rota (<i>8½</i>, <i>The Godfather</i>), <i>Obsession</i> is a British film noir at its darkest and most deadly.</div><div><br></div><div>Obsession has been restored by Powerhouse Films from a 4K scan of the nitrate duplicate negative, preserved at the BFI National Archive.
