Review of Gaslight (1944) by John A — 19 May 2010
A well-executed, atmospheric noir/period piece. Bergman is great as the mentally unstable woman, Boyer is appropriately slimy, but my favorite performances come from Lansbury and especially Cotton. The former plays a deliciously selfish tart, the latter masterfully pulls off the easy-going, yet concerned observer who you just can't help but love.
Kane, Ambersons, Third Man, and now this--Cotton continues to grow in my estimation.
