Gaslight
1944 · Movie · 114 min. · United States
Gregory Anton (Boyer) is a smooth and cunning gentleman who seduces and marries the gullible Paula Alquist (Bergman). They take up residence in Paula's childhood home, long abandoned since the murder of her aunt years previously. After an all too brief period of honeymoon bliss, Paula begins to believe she is losing her grasp on sanity, and it is only the determination of a young detective (Joseph Cotten) that eventually intervenes -- he comes to believe that Paula is systematically being driven out of her mind... for a reason.
