Gaslight is a 1944 American psychological thriller film directed by George Cukor and starring Ingrid Bergman , Charles Boyer , Joseph Cotten , and 18-year-old Angela Lansbury in an Oscar-nominated screen debut ( Best Supporting Actress ). The film is adapted from Patrick Hamilton 's play Gas Light (1938), about a woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is going insane.
The 1944 version is a remake of the 1940 British film of the same name directed by Thorold Dickinson. Cukor's version had a larger scale and budget than the earlier film, and lends a different feel to the material. To avoid confusion with the first film, Cukor's version was originally titled The Murder in Thornton Square in the UK. The film features numerous deviations from the original stage play, though the central drama remains that of a husband trying to drive his wife insane in order to distract her from his criminal activities.
