About Possessed
Marion is a factory worker who hopes to trade the assembly line for a beautiful penthouse apartment.

Will this affair ever lead to marriage?
Directed by Clarence Brown, Possessed leans on a strong ensemble — Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Wallace Ford — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1931.
