{{quote|If I were not mad, I could have helped you. Whatever you had done, I could have pitied and protected you. But because I am mad, I hate you. Because I am mad, I have betrayed you. And because I'm mad, I'm rejoicing in my heart, without a shred of pity, without a shred of regret, watching you go with glory in my heart! |'''Paula Alquist''' {{spoiler|denouncing her husband.}}}}
Based on a 1938 play by Patrick Hamilton, '''''Gaslight''''' is a 1944 psychological-thriller directed by George Cukor and staring [[Ingrid Bergman]] in her first Oscar-winning performance. This was the second of three movies that were based on the play.
Can Paula find out the reason for her husband's cruelty? Can a sympathetic Scotland Yard officer save the day?
Line 14 ⟶ 12:
A very-young [[Angela Lansbury]] made her film debut as the quirky maid Nancy; the performance won her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
This version of ''Gaslight'' was named to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2019.
Not to be confused with the trope [[Gaslighting]].
