Obsession is a 1954 French crime film directed by Jean Delannoy who co-wrote the screenplay with Antoine Blondin, Roland Laudenbach and Gian Luigi Rondi. The film is based on the story "Silent as the Grave" by Cornell Woolrich written under the pseudonym William Irish.[1] The film stars Michèle Morgan and Raf Vallone.
It tells the story of a couple forming a circus trapeze act, and their involvement in a murder case.
Of the approximately fifteen Cornell Woolrich movies made in France, Germany, Argentina, Japan, and even Russia, Obsession, adapted from two '40s stories, "If the Dead Could Talk" and "Silent as the Grave," is one that seemed a likely candidate for U.S. release.
