Woman Obsessed
1959, English. Directed by Henry Hathaway.
She hated the child whose life stirred within her...because it was part of him whom she loathed and despised...
After her husband dies in a fire, a woman (Susan Hayward) is left to tend for her young son and the family farm on her own. Soon, she takes in a drifting handyman, they fall in love, and a resentment begins to build between the son and his new "step-father" who treats the boy harshly on purpose to prepare him for life on the frontier.
