Review of The Strange Possession of Mrs. Oliver

I last saw this movie in 1987. I don't know where they have hidden it since. Karen Black plays a woman married to a successful businessman played by George Hamilton. She is well dressed in a conservative way. As she begins to charge her dress and behavior, the viewer might suspect she is being possessed by a dead woman, The title also leads to that idea. Actually, she took the identity of a dead woman after trauma and is only now beginning to let her old identity surface. I liked it, I suppose, because they kept me in doubt about what was really happening. It is a psychological drama rather than horror. Both Black and Hamilton did their roles well although his was really only a supporting role.
