Magnificent Obsession (1954)

What a huge disappointment! I am not even going to give this ridiculous movie 1 star, I will give it a Turkey. I had read great reviews. I knew going in that this was the movie that made Rock Hudson a star, and that Jane Wyman received an Oscar nomination for her role. I am not sure how Hudson became a star, a star of what, crappy films? Wyman did not deserve an Oscar nomination. Barbara Rush was the only good thing about this movie, and that is because I loved her in "The Young Philadelphians" with Paul Newman, so I already liked her.

The story is about a rich guy who realizes he is missing the boat in life. He starts to serve others and become a better person. But man this is a boring movie and I would tell anyone to not waste their time on it!
