Much better than her other Possessed.....

This movie is wonderful. Crawford in my opinion gives one her best performances in this movie. The camera work and locations were right on target to portray her descending madness. This is one of her films you don't want to miss.....

why i am obsessed with joan crawford

there is only one reason why a framed picture of joan crawford sits on my bedside.. she is the greatest actress of all time.. Not just in the camp way that most people like her - she could so become a character - it is her presence - the very fabric of her being..
'possessed' is one of the finest examples of crawford the actress - she is so off the wall in this movie - and yet somehow we identify with her - love can do this to a person..
This is also one of Van Heflin's finer moments in cinema... Buy this and Mildred Pierce and have a festival..

Been There

As a person who has been treated in much the same way as Ms. Crawford has been in this film - I can say that it DOES affect a person in that way. You lose your grip on reality with sometimes tragic consequences. Brava!!!

Another magnificent performance for Miss Crawford

Hollywood is no longer churning out excellent professional actresses such as Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Dhianne Carroll (I may have spelled her name wrong) Dorthy Dandridge, and many others to say the least.
I have always loved watching Joan Crawford movies. In Possessed she played the psychotic role of Louise, a woman who is obsessed with a man named David, who plays on her emotions, and then tires of her and treats her like nothing more than a fly on his shoulder. His attitude towards her causes tragic results.

Good melodrama, mediocre print

The narrative flow of this film is hampered by the device of returning repeatedly to the past, but there are interesting elements, including 4 characters who can't connect with each other. There are campy moments along with more straight-ahead scenes. The dialogue is better than average. Crawford is good, and her dry-mouth effort to talk in the depth of her character's illness foreshadows the way she played the end of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" However, the printed used to prepare the DVD was not in good condition. There are a number of places where you see faded blacks and streaks. At one point, for a couple of minutes, you see little ovals of light all over the screen, almost like reflections from a sparkly bracelet. It's a shame Warner chose not to offer a restored version.
