Summary: Riveting!
Comment: This is truly a GREAT suspense film with believable characters and excellent actors, director, and story. Ingrid Bergman as the helpless wife and Charles Boyer as the manipulative husband are excellent. The eerie mood that keeps building is highly effective, and Angela Lansbury's performance was memorable even though short. Well worth seeing several times, as I did. The black and white color, the foggy night scenes in the glow of the street gaslights couldn't be more befitting for this story.

Summary: iNCREDIBLY STUPID FILM
Comment: This film really made me angry and pissed off I bothered watching it. The characters were cardboard and I can't believe Ingrid Bergman starred in this junk.The main character totally lost it, believing all what her husband was saying about her. She was totally unthinking in the whole episode until it was revealed that her husband was a con.

Summary: Are you "gaslighting" me? (recommended)
Comment: When Roz asks: 'Are you "gaslighting" me?' in a first-season FRASIER episode, movie buffs instantly recall the tortured Paula (Ingrid Bergman) in GASLIGHT -- a movie classic so symbolic that it is immortalized in verb form. Paula's loyalty and sanity are tested to the limit as the deceitful Gregory (Charles Boyer) convinces his wife she "has no brain at'all" just like her mother. His obsession with gems, confiscation of letters, and mysterious disappearances in the night coincide with unexplained footsteps and dimming gas lanterns. Can her would-be hero (Joseph Cotten) save Paula from a fate worse than death? The conclusion may appear spellbinding to first-time viewers but in retrospect, provides sensible vindication. Each actor plays his part well but Bergman delivers considerable emotion in her facial expressions.
Movie quote: "I am mad. I'm always losing things and hiding things and I can never find them, I don't know where I've put them."

Summary: "I HEAR VOICES IN THE NIGHT, BUT I AM NOT GOING MAD!"
Comment: Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman star in this dazzling mystery about two newlyweds who move into the wife's family mansion. While at the house Paula (Bergman) fears she is going mad when she begins to imagine things. Such as the lights flickering and hearing voices in the middle of the night. Joseph Cotten co stars as a man after ten years digging up a file on the murder of Alice Alquist (Who was killed in that house). While seeing Paula nearly frightened to death at a concert he knows that she is not mad, she is being driven mad. If this macabe nightmare continues Paula could be placed in an insane asylum. A macabeish film that unlock hidden secrets of the mind. Starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten and Dame May Whitty. Directed by George Cukor. 114 minutes.
