Gaslight

Pros:

Paranoia runs wild in this film but is it only paranoia or some sinister scheme?

Cons:

I have a hard time thinking of Boyer as a romantic figure

It's funny how some movies can have an impact in everyday life even is it's just a word or expression taken from that movie…In this case it's the title of the film which became a well-known phrase. How many times has someone thought, is ...

Pros: Interesting plot. Cool costumes. Charles Boyer is browtastic.
Cons: Overacting.  Ingrid Bergman's character needs a kick in the bustle.

So there we were, on a steamy summer evening, my beloved and I.  I wanted to watch our newly-arrived DVD of "Bewitched: Season 3”.    Mike wanted to watch ”Gaslight” instead.  He ...

Pros: Suspenseful, engrossing, good performances.
Cons: None.

Evil husband tricks his wife into believing she is losing her mind. If you're ever heard the term "gaslighting," which was derived from this film's title, you already know that much about the plot. But that knowledge won't ruin the film, because the ...

Pros: A fascinating story, interesting sets and scenes, and fine performances.
Cons: Some viewers will dislike the slow pace and might suffer claustrophobia along with Paula.

Pros: Great story, wonderful performances.
Cons: None

I haven't seen very many Ingrid Bergman movies, but I sure am glad I took the time to sit down and watch this one. I always wanted to see what they really meant by the expression "to gaslight someone." Believe me, after watching this movie,...

Pros: Maintains suspense throughout
Cons: Black and white format may turn off some viewers

I saw Gaslight listed in the TV Spotlight section of my local newspaper. It was on one of those "oldie,but goodie" channels. I had heard it was a good mystery and I like mysteries. I also knew Ingrid Bergman had won the Academy Award for this...

Pros: A fun mystery... not too scary
Cons: A little too revealing as mysteries go

Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer star in a delightful mystery about Paula Anton, a niece to a recently murdered opera singer. Paula falls in love and marries a haunting individual who persuades her to move back into her aunts house where the murder took ...

Pros: Great acting, production values, riveting suspense! Nice comedic relief, and a "lesson" in individuality, too!
Cons: Some scenes have slight over-acting. Would be nice if more of the cast were alive.

I had long heard of this movie, but never saw it, all the way through, until last night. It tells the story, set in 1890's high-society England, of a woman who may or may not be going crazy, and a husband who may or may not want to help her. All ...

Pros: Very good Classic
Cons: NONE!

In the movie Gaslight, directed by Cukor George, the character Gregory (played by Charles Boyer) was a very good mind manipulator. He made Paula (played by Ingrid Bergman) think that she was going crazy. He was so good of a mind manipulator that...

Pros: fabulous performances, learn the derivation of the term gaslighting
Cons: none
