Gaslight 1944

Ingrid Bergman was absolutely one of the best actresses ever and this movie was one of her best. Charles Boyer was a romantic good guy in most movies so this was his chance to break his normal roles.

The sad part is that this movie plot takes place everyday in someone's home even now more than 70 years later. It may cut close to home for some, but the most pivotal take away is that Bergman was chosen for the role and won an Oscar for it because it showed how a strong woman could easily be fooled if she has no lifeline to people outside the abusive home.
