 "Ossessione", made in 1942 and banned in Italy by Mussolini, is a powerful delineation of the ill-fated love between Gino, a virile young drifter who arrives by chance at a roadside restaurant and filling station, and Giovanna, the beautiful young wife of the fat old man who owns the place. Giovanna s husband disgusts her; every time he touches her she wants to scream. Gino leaves, only to return because he can t get her out of his blood. They kill her husband, but his death haunts the guilt-ridden Gino.
