Movie Reviews of Gaslight
Movie Review: Gaslight
Summary: 5 Stars
This lavish, eerie remake of the 1941 British psychological thriller is worthy of its predecessor thanks to the wily interventions of MGM head Louis B. Mayer, who oversaw the production. Bergman is a vision of luminous grace and beauty, but fragile, too, as a deeply troubled socialite who finally receives help from Joseph Cotten's detective. Anton, a schemer who's wed Paula for ulterior motives, is played with sinister aplomb by Boyer. Of course, one of the great pleasures of this Gothic melodrama is watching the tart-tongued debut of Angela Lansbury, playing Boyer's flinty, flirtatious young maid. "Gaslight" is a petulant puzzler with a chilling climax.Movie Review: Are you Gaslighting Me?
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie about 7 years ago as a rental from a library, even on VHS it was a winner. I have been waiting for it to come out on DVD so I can finally buy it. All of the characters are great in this movie, Angela Lansbury has her acting debut & is feisty, Joseph Cotten is the handsome detective who knows something is up, Charles Boyer, what can I say, that voice is amazing, Ingrid Bergman plays beautiful, fragile, naieve(sp)Paula. I watched the 1940 version of Gaslight after I watched the 1944 one and wasn't to impressed, maybe it was because I had something to compare it to. This one though is definatley a keeper.Movie Review: One of the great ones!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been waiting for this one on DVD for as long as I've had a DVD player. A true classic! One of George Cukor's best -- and he directed a lot of great movies! Based on the play, this taut drama brings us one of the great villians of all time. Boyer is not some scenery-chewing, soap-opera villian shouting and throwing tantrums. No, he's a soft, purring villian, a loving, concerned husband who is in truth driving his wife mad. She never looked better and Cotton is at his best. Check out the young Angela Landsbury too. Wonderful movie. I don't want to give it away. Just buy it -- you will not regret it!Movie Review: A hitchockian nightmare !
Summary: 5 Stars
Charles Boyer made the peak work of his career , performing the role of a handsome gentleman who marries with Ingrid Bergman with the intention of empowering her around her doe .
The claustrophobic atmosphere and the spelling script make of this film a genuine gem and the masterpiece of George Cukor far beyond to me , A star is born .
Two Academy Awards for this move : Best Actress and B&W Decoration .
This is the debut on screen of Angela Landsbury.
Movie Review: An annual "Must See"!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of my wife's and mine annual "must see" movies. (The other being "The Picture of Dorian Gray".) The cast, the directing and the atmosphere of this movie is in perfect balance with each other. When I was growing up in the Fifties, my Mother used the expression "...giving them the 'gaslight' treatment." I never could understand what it meant exactly...but after watching this hold-on-to-your-seat; white-knuckle presentation I knew the meaning of the phrase...you will too. Enjoy!
