I’ve been dying to see this film for a long time. Great news (and I love that last picture).
Luscious! I was hoping for a screen grab of the shot where Hudson walks in with the “danger” sign. But I guess you don’t do requests. 😀
I love that shot too, but I was going for stuff that had the least amount of, shall we say, overt signification!
I think the greatest expansion in my film knowledge comes from two sources: Criterion and Netflix.
When I watched this, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was the same hospital set later used in TWILIGHT ZONE’s “Eye of the Beholder.”
Cheap self-plug: My review is MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION is forthcoming in the next SIGHT AND SOUND.
As our now ex-Prez might put it: don’t ever be afraid to significate!
I hella shoulda grabbed the “DANGER” sign… oh well…
