Plot: Ingrid Bergman won her first of three Oscars for this suspense thriller, crafted with surprising tautness by normally genteel women's picture director George Cukor. Bergman stars as Paula Alquist, a late 19th century English singer studying music in Italy. However, Paula abandons her studies because she's fallen in love with dapper, handsome Gregory Anton (Charles Boyer). The couple marries and returns to the U.K. and a home inherited by Paula from her aunt, herself a famous singer, who was mysteriously murdered in the house ten years before. Once they have moved in, Gregory, who is in reality a jewel thief and the murderer of Paula's aunt, launches a campaign of terror designed to drive his new bride insane. Though Paula is certain that she sees the house's gaslights dim every evening and that there are strange noises coming from the attic, Gregory convinces Paula that she's imagining things. Gregory's efforts to make Paula unstable are aided by an impertinent maid, Nancy (teenager Angela Lansbury in her feature film debut). Meanwhile, a Scotland Yard inspector, Brian Cameron (Joseph Cotten), becomes suspicious of Gregory and sympathetic to Paula's plight. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Gaslight, Far and Away, Tudors, The 2nd season
Added 8/14/2009

"Gaslight", great old picture, beautifully lit in black and white, very good acting all around, a keeper. A MUST in any serious movie collectors file.

"Far and Away" Tom Cruise, in my opinion, gave his best performances in this movie and in "Rainman". The rest of his stuff is either special effects, badly done or totally inept as in "Walkuere".

The Tudors, second season, I did not yet get a change to watch it.

Gaslight times two
Added 7/5/2009

I especially liked the fact that this dvd had the original British version, filmed several years earlier than the Ingrid Bergman one, on the flip side of the dvd. So I got two Gaslights for the price of one. Of course, the Bergman one is wonderful so I was very interested to see if the British version could hold it's own. It did. It was quite different in tone and style, but still, I enjoyed it immensely. Excellent buy for my "favorite movie" collection.

Excellent classic love story with oppressed woman. The cast is supurb: Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotten, Angela Lansbury--can't ask for much more! Dramatic suspense.

Classic story. Absorbing psychological thriller. Still holds up. Entire cast is excellent. Fun to see a very young Angela Lansberry.
