Gaslight


Gaslight stars Ingmar Bergman in her Oscar winning role as best actress in 1944. Bergman is good, though the story is a bit dated, but then it is from sixty years ago,what did I expect? It has obvious shortfalls, like the villian -Charles Boyer who plays Bergman's manipulative and vicious husband, has villian written all over him that one wonders why was Bergman's character the only one not to notice that, then her saviour or the man who has a secret crush on her conveniently turns out to be a Scotland Yard detective. But all its faults and sepia tint, I'd say it was a gripping movie, enough to put off sleep till 3 am when we finished watching it.
