Editorial Reviews

MGM's 1944 production Gaslight -- the second and best screen version of Patrick Hamilton's memorable stage thriller Angel Street -- avoids the two fatal pitfalls that undermine period melodramas: Director George Cukor, the early master of the stage-to-screen translation, eschews clichés, anachronisms, and stylized acting while drawing marvelous performances from his leads, Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. Boyer, one of the screen's most sophisticated leading men, added sadistic villainy to his histrionic bag of tricks with his portrayal of an ostensibly loving husband who attempts to drive his adoring wife insane. Why? Well, we'll only tell you that the reason involves a years-old search for valuable jewels hidden in the house they've recently purchased. Bergman won her first Academy Award for her work as the tortured spouse; her carefully modulated performance is a textbook study of gradually mounting anxiety that metastasizes into unmitigated terror. Almost as impressive is 17-year-old Angela Lansbury, who earned an Oscar nomination (and a long-term MGM contract) for her skillful turn as a sinister maid. An Academy Award also went to art director Cedric Gibbons for his punctilious re-creation of Victorian décor in the sets and props. Taut and suspenseful, Gaslight remains a model that has been equaled in succeeding years, but never quite surpassed.
