When one of the interviewees mentioned that she was constantly bleeding through her pads and ended up dropping out of school due to it, I wished I could travel back in time and through the screen to give her some super plus tampons. After hearing what women in this community were using for pads (just old clothing), hopefully the pads and the pad manufacturing initiative will help the women in the community live and improve their lives, although I hope women with heavier flows can get extra support at some point. Will be donating to www.thepadproject.org/ when I can.

Commentary review:
This was not much of a commentary. Shelly did this about 5 years after the film was released and had not seen it in a while, so there was lots of silence while she watched.
I got the impression that the commentary would have been much better if she had done it closer to shooting, and she also mentioned that she wished that her co-star Tim Guinee was there, because he might remember more anecdotes that she had forgotten.

This restoration also includes a text description of a missing/lost scene set at the hotel, along with the text of another letter.
Also included is a short documentary-style short/fragment, titled "Chiromancy." The description states:

This documentary short is a bit counter to the end of The Obsession, but I guess Gaumont wanted to hedge their bets. 🤣

Exhibit A: He loaned him his only pair of slippers when he was still a total rando to him
Exhibit B: He bought him borscht and remembered that he liked it with an egg
Exhibit C: He shaved off the beard he had had for 15 years so he could go undercover for him - not for Jean Arthur
Exhibit D: He tracked down the man who could exonerate…
