	Gaslight (1944 film) at AllExperts (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Gaslight is a 1944 film, considered film noir, directed by George Cukor starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer.
		The makers of this film attempted to have all copies of the 1940 version destroyed, but they were unsuccessful as copies of the older version have survived and critics are divided as to which is actually the better film.
		The term "to gaslight someone" – to make someone think he or she is going insane – derives from the titles and subject matter of these two films.

	Gaslight (1944)
		Gaslight (1944) (aka The Murder in Thornton Square) is a superb, definitive psychological suspense thriller from 'woman's director' George Cukor.
		The phrase "to gaslight" someone (to deliberately drive someone insane by psychologically manipulating their environment and tricking someone into believing that they are insane), was derived from the film.
		The film's impressive photography is expressionistic, shadowy, and menacing - as befits the film's ominous plot.

	Gaslight DVD Review - www.impulsegamer.com
		As a film, Gaslight is quite dated (it’s sixty years old, in fact) and the fl and white, full-frame, mono presentation is in keeping with its age.
		The acting is occasionally over the top as well, and may put a 2004 audience off the genuinely tense storyline and the quality of the performances (Bergman won her first Oscar for the role).
		Gaslight isn’t for everyone, and won’t find a place as a home theatre demo disc, but when you meet it on its own terms it’s an entertaining and tight piece of film-making.

	GASLIGHT
		GASLIGHT is a classic film, not because it's old, but because the theme will never go out of style.
		This is a sinister film with brilliant acting by Ingrid Bergman.
		The joy of this film is not figuring out the mystery of her aunt's murder – it's pretty apparant from the beginning who the killer is – but watching Bergman's slow descent into madness.

	Gaslight - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Gaslight was released in the US as Murder in Thornton Square, then withdrawn entirely on the occasion of MGM's expensive 1944 remake of Gaslight, which starred Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman.
		Partly to eliminate confusion, and partly to avoid unfavorable comparison to the shorter and far superior British film, MGM allegedly ordered that all prints of the original Gaslight be destroyed.
		Evidently that order was not honored to the letter, since the 1940 Gaslight is still safely available for both theatrical and TV exhibition.

		The film was nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award, Bergman won the Best Actress Oscar, Boyer was nominated for Best Actor, and Angela Lansbury was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
		Copies of the older version, now entitled Gaslight as well to capitalize on this more famous one, have survived, and critics are divided as to which is actually the better film.
		Derived from the film's title and plot, "gaslighting" became a euphemism for ruthlessly manipulating an individual, for nefarious reasons, into believing something other than the truth.

	screenonline: Fanny By Gaslight (1944)
		The film's attitude towards sexuality is rather more complex and intriguing.
		From the opening scenes of Fanny's discovery of the Shades (the word is never used, but it's clearly a brothel) and the fact that her mother was less than faithful, through to James Mason's portrait of Lord Manderstoke as a man blending absolute moral corruption with devastating sensuality,
		The film is further enriched by a decidedly ambiguous ending, which would also have had contemporary echoes, as much of the audience would have had a similar experience to Fanny in terms of losing or nearly losing a loved one.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- GASLIGHT
		While the presentation of the British GASLIGHT isn’t quite as clean and free from signs of age as the later version, it is still in good condition and the transfer provides very little to complain about.
		Also included on the DVD is Reflections On Gaslight, a thirteen-minute program with Bergman's daughter, Pia Lindstrom and Angela Lansbury, who discuss the film and its legendary leading lady.
		GASLIGHT is another film classic that has been given a terrific presentation on DVD by the fine folks at Warner Home Video.

		There are times when the screen treatment verges on a type of drama that must be linked to the period upon which the title is based, but this factor only serves to hypo the film's dramatic suspense where normally it might be construed as corny theatrics.

	DVD.net : Gaslight - DVD Review
		The sets (the entire film was made on giant Hollywood soundstages for both interior and exterior shots) calls for a gloomy, claustrophobic intensity, and this is captured with effective lighting which this print succeeds in realising with virtually no visible wear or tear.
		Next up is a short film of the year's main Oscar winners, with acceptance speeches from 'Best Actor' recipient Bing Crosby (for Going My Way), Ingrid Bergman and child-actor Margaret O'Brien, who received a special miniature Oscar for her role as Tootie in Meet Me in St Louis.
		Gaslight is worth having as a remembrance of Ingrid Bergman at her best, in a performance which ranks alongside her Ilsa in Casablanca and Alicia in Notorious.

	definition of gaslighting
		A common form of brainwashing in which an abuser tries to falsely convince the victim that the victim is defective, for any purpose whatsoever, such as making the victim more pliable and easily controlled, or making the victim more emotional and therefore more needy and dependent.
		The gaslighting abuser sees himself or herself as a nurturing parental figure in relation to the victim, and uses gaslighting as a means for keeping the victim in that relationship, perhaps as punishment for the victim's attempt to break out of the dependent role.
		Etymology: Term is named after the film Gaslight (1944), in which the villain used the technique.

	Gaslight (1944)
		The movie realized that since Angela would still need to ferment a bit before she became an old busy body, they needed to throw in an old broad to fill that role (though she was little more than comic relief) giving this movie two busy bodies for the price of one.
		This may not be 1878 or even 1944 and it really isn't the fault of this movie, but you can't help but feel the story is a bit minor league.

		Looking at Angela Lansbury in the excellent Reflections On Gaslight featurette, it's striking how she seems to have looked exactly the same for several decades.
		Back in 1944, though, she was only 17-years-old and didn't look like an elderly sleuth with the reek of death about her.
		Also on the DVD is footage from Oscar night 1944, where Bergman accepts her statuette with the type of humility present megastars might like to try emulating.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Gaslight
		Part of the problem is that the scenario of the film (Anton is attempting to locate Paula's murdered aunt's precious jewelry in the attic) is all but spelled out right from the get go.
		There's also an unconvincing attempt to turn the sanity tables on Anton in the final act, where his passion for precious stones is meant to mirror Paula's need for marital understanding even at the cost of her mind.
		Mind you, Gaslight is an expertly directed and evenly paced slow burn (and Dame May Whitty is a stitch, though underused, as a nosy neighbor lady), but its lack of a sound moral and psychological center renders it totally transitory and forgettable.

		The term "gaslighting" (attempting to drive someone crazy by hiding things and other psychologically coercive behavior originates from this movie.) Set in Victorian England, husband Gregory Anton (Charles Boyer) uses a variety of techniques to convince his wife Paula (Ingrid Bergman) that she's crazy.
		I was particularly delighted with the busybody Whitty, who was born in 1865 and had made her film debut at the age of 49.
		When this film was produced, the studio attempted to have all prints of the previous version, _Gaslight (1940)_ destroyed.

	The Jujube Spotlight - Gaslight
		As witnesses to Paula's mounting confusion and terror, the audience can see that she hasn't misplaced her marbles but come under the sway of an evil man. Yet Bergman convincingly shows how she could fall victim to his diabolical schemes.
		With all the psychological complexity of a Hitchcock film (masterfully directed by George Cukor), "Gaslight" is chock full of deeply twisted situations whose cruelty is matched only by their subtlety.
		When reached, it's a satisfying conclusion to a film that's well executed and graced by a performance worthy of lasting fame.
