What's that? You say there's a movie called Gaslight? Sorry, dear. Never heard of it. You must have imagined the whole thing.

They just don’t make abusers like they used to. Where’s the grandeur? The ambition? Not enough family jewels these days, and too many electric candles.

Laughingstalk lovedGaslightI used to watch this old movie with my ex-best friend, for some reason it was nice background sound. After the 1093737th time of watching it, it just became our thing to watch.
Mickerdoo likedGaslightNot much into romance but the psychological aspect and thriller tinge were diabolical enough. Wasn’t difficult to watch Bergman, either.

George Cukor carefully avoids the obvious effects in telling this story of a husband (Charles Boyer) attempting to drive his wife (Ingrid Bergman) insane; instead, this 1944 film is one of the few psychological thrillers that is genuinely psychological, depending on subtle clues—a gesture, an intonation—to thought and character.

Yes, the ending is weak, and there are aspects of the story that don't stand up to scrutiny, but this is the kind of effectively-crafted, well-acted motion picture that rises above its faults to earn its classic appellation.
