Perhaps one of the first “pure” psychological thrillers, Gaslight contains the perfect blend of mystery, suspense, and beauty. Ingrid Bergman won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of the neurotic, persecuted wife. Ten years after her aunt was murdered in their London home, a woman returns from Italy in the 1880s to resume residence with her new husband. His obsessive interest in the house rises from a secret that may require driving his wife insane.
