Classic Tuesday: Gaslight (1944)

Young Paula endures flickering lights and haunting sounds from a sealed-off attic, leading her to fear she’s losing her mind—a sinister scheme orchestrated by her husband, Gregory. Directed by George Cukor, this suspense classic stars Ingrid Bergman in her Oscar-winning role as the tormented Paula and Charles Boyer as the deceptively charming Gregory. The cast also includes Joseph Cotten, Dame May Whitty, and Angela Lansbury in her Oscar-nominated debut. The film’s atmospheric Victorian setting won the Academy Award for Best Interior Decoration, enhancing its gripping tension.
