I taped this film from television some years ago and see it from time to time. I did not notice the stand-in in the scenes to which you referred Ginger as the picture is somewhat "cut-off" at the edges. However, it is particularly obvious the stand-in was used when Susan was about to enter the "Black Maria" to transport her to Holloway Gaol (British spelling) as you can see the thickness of the legs! Once inside it is Susan talking to Miriam Karlin and another girl.
I do like this film - Susan has some amazing close-ups and her skin looks absolutely beautiful. It had an odd story line and the ending was silly as she drives away with Peter Finch but Susan was as lovely as ever.

There was some dialogue in this film between Peter Finch and Susan that I heard today and I had never really listened to it closely or "got it".. but I do now. I'll type it out for you just a little later...just thought I'd tease you a bit.. LOL
Boy...you people sure have me at a standstill..since I have not seen the film in...years! I know I got a good recording of it..but will now have to watch it and see what all of you have 'caught'..You know, 'true' Susan fans can always know, in one way or another, if they are nOT showing 'the real Susan'.
I have not watched it yet, since I recorded it, so now I will have to watch it tonight!
I always thought it was an 'odd' film for her to pick, since she was free-lance from any studio contracts, but then I remembered reports that she had started to only do films that EATON...apporved...and they were 'on location' films...so since this is set in Ireland and THE HONEY POT was in VENICE. Whether or not WOMAN OBSESSED was filmed in Canada, I'm not sure..but this did seem to set a 'trend' of places they/he could see.
Errol, I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on the film.
One scene always stood out for me in that film.. even after I hadn't seen it in many years.. It was the scene where she was in her room, after she had been released from jail, emptying her purse and counting out what little change she had left..
