Cinema: Gaslight (1940)
Details
- This is a different, earlier version than the 1944 film (that one was with Ingrid Bergman, Angela Lansbury, Charles Boyer)
I must admit that I didn't know that there is an earlier version than the 1944 film, I couldn't find it on imdb because it was released as Angel Street in the US. This version is said to be truer to the stage play Gas Light from 1938. The cast of this 1940 version is Anton Walbrook, Diana Wynyard, Frank Pettingell, Cathleen Cordell.

This is part of the 4 Year Anniversary celebration of the Garden Cinema's existence. It is my favourite cinema.
"The original screen adaptation of the Patrick Hamilton play stars Anton Walbrook as a calculating husband who attempts to make his wife think she is going insane so that he can locate her hidden family jewels. Oscar-nominee Diana Wynyard is his turn-of-the-century bride who moves into the house where her aunt was murdered and begins to fear she's going mad."
