Obsession, a.k.a., The Hidden Room


Dr. Clive Riordan, an erudite psychiatrist, catches his unrepentent wife, Storm, in an affair with their American friend Bill Kronin (Phil Brown, who would later play Luke Skywalker's beloved Uncle Owen in Star Wars). Riordan plots a diabolically clever revenge but is hounded by an equally clever police inspector (British comedian Naunton Wayne).
