Reckless playboy Bob Merrick crashes his speedboat, requiring emergency attention from the town’s only resuscitator while a local hero, Dr. Phillips, dies waiting for the life-saving device. Merrick then tries to right his wrongs with the doctor’s widow, Helen, falling in love with her in the process.

Magnificent Obsession was directed by Douglas Sirk and released in 1954. It stars Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson and Barbara Rush.
