I remember liking this alot and feeling sorry for Rock Hudson even though he was to blame.

People keep forgetting that melodrama was a serious genre (or subgenre, more exactly) before it was butchered by daytime television. With this kind of storytelling, soap operas might;ve actually been worth watching. But that would negate the delicacy of these films, and let's not do that. This movie is exquisitely and organically crafted. Half of the reason that it's so effective is that the surprises come from the characters and not the story. This probably accounts for why the two Sirk films I've seen are emotionally very exhausting. I would guess most good melodrama is. But as a consequence, I don't really know that I would see it again.

Tenderly touches on the strains of remorse and forgiveness, primarily through Hudson's sympathetic performance and Russell Metty's gentle Technicolor photography. Sirk's melodramatic style is a double-edged sword however, and 'Magnificent Obsession' is just a little too easy breezy.

I do love this movie. a must see older film.

Well, this certainly is a sappy romance from the 50s, but it's also certainly well told and delivered. Even though this is only the second Sirk film I've seen (I saw Written on the Wind a couple years ago), it's tough for a director to make such a name for himself with only a couple movies. I mean, Sirk's films sort of define a 50s genre of films. There aren't many directors who can have their name be a film genre. Anyway, onto the film, I really enjoyed it even if it was over the top with love and, well, 50s. Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman were great together, I particularly loved their time in France. But again, as I've mentioned, this is sappy and over the top, but it really wouldn't have worked if it was any less. It's got a wonderful scenery and nice score as well. I wouldn't call this a masterpiece, but it's a very nice film.
