Title: An obsession that leads to tragedy
Review: Story about theatre actor who gives himself so fully to the role that he starts to confuse his real life from his stage life. His only relief from the emotional pain is his love for his ex-wife. Although divorced, the two are still close firends and colleagues n the Broadway plays. His ex-wife knows best that he is emotionally fragile and is afraid to marry him again knowing that his emotional baggage will destroy this relationship again.When he takes on the role of Othello, his fame explodes. Night after night he plays a doomed lover. But his psyche starts to crack. In desparate effort to separate his love for his ex-wife for his love of Desdemona on stage, he commits murder against a young woman, played wonderfully by Shelley Winters.One has to have a love for old movies to watch this one. I loved the old black and white shots and the intensity of old school of acting.
