George Cukor helped transform a moody Victorian stage melodrama (previously filmed in Britain in 1939) into a gothic Hollywood romantic thriller. Ingrid Bergman stars as a meek, uncertain heiress courted and married in a whirlwind romance by the debonair Charles Boyer, but when they move back into her childhood home she begins losing her grip on reality and becomes convinced that her husband is trying to drive her insane. Joseph Cotten, rather stiff and colorless next to the anguished Bergman and charming and lively Boyer, is the heroic Scotland Yard detective who becomes enamored of the skittish woman who is slowly succumbing to madness. The grand, glorious sets and elegant photography recall Hitchcock's Rebecca, another lush Hollywood gothic melodrama of a retiring young wife overwhelmed by the history of her abode, and Gaslight is still assumed by some to be a Hitchcock film (the Bergman connection doesn't help the confusion). It's really a rather straightforward thriller with a forced plot device, but under Cukor's control the tightly constructed script is given the full MGM treatment, then reined in for intimate moments of harrowing suspense. Boyer brilliantly played off his continental lover reputation by adding an undercurrent of malevolence and Bergman won an Oscar for her haunted performance. It also marks the memorable debut of Angela Lansbury as a saucy maid unwittingly drawn into Boyer's master plan. --Sean Axmaker

 Excelente pelicula June 5, 2008
Excelente pelicula. Brillantes actuaciones de Boyer, Bergman, Lansbury, Cotten y Whitty. Bergman gano un merecido Oscar a mejor actriz, pero la actuacion de Boyer es sencillamente sobresaliente; encarna con maestria a un villano domestico pero peligroso, dominante pero atribulado, calculador y arriesgado, a la vez. Una expresion realista de la mezquindad humana.
El DVD contiene la version original y tambien excelente de 1940.

Perfect Suspense Story June 1, 2008
My family enjoyed this nail-biting drama about a husband trying to make his wife think she is going mad. Charles Boyet is wonderful as the 'bad guy' and Ingrid Bergman is very young and plays the perfect wife. I love this story and never fail to be drawn into the drama being played out on the screen, no matter how many times I watch it. I highly recommend this to all movie buffs that like Ingrid Berman and films that the whole family can sit down and enjoy together.

This is one of our favorite Ingrid Bergman movies. We watch it every so often when there is nothing on TV. It is a shame that movies today are not made more like the old classic movies. The movies today are nothing but sex and bad language.
