I'd LOVE to have that.
Just watched Gaslight on Amazon streaming. Very good movie! Looks like it needs some more restoration work, but I hope this MGM classic makes it to blu-ray at some point. This is the source, of course, for the term "gaslighting," defined by wikipedia as: "the systematic psychological manipulation by the main character on a victim....In the story, a husband attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment and insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes. The original title stems from the dimming of the gas lights in the house that happened when the husband was using the gas lights in the attic while searching for hidden treasure. The wife accurately notices the dimming lights and discusses the phenomenon, but the husband insists she just imagined a change in the level of illumination."
Diana Wynyard is so good in it as well. I saw the 35mm print at MoMA when it was "rediscovered" and it was stunning. It quickly became my favorite version. It also hews more closely to the play, "Angel Street," than does 1944's Gaslight.
I don't remember MOMA having a 35mm print of ANGEL STREET. I saw it in 16 mm in Bill Everson's British Cinema class at NYU, when they were in the Bleeker Street Cinema in the early 70'S.. A lot of my favorite British films I first saw in that class. Also THE SPY IN BLACK & NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH.
Mark, not trying to derail this thread, but my wife and I did see it at MoMA, never at the Bleecker St. Cinema. I attended many of Everson's film classes at NYU, screenings at the New School, at the Huff Memorial Society and at his apartment, but never at the Bleecker. I also borrowed many of his 16mm prints to screen at my apartment. You and I must have crossed paths many times. I'll PM you sometime with details.
I was asking specifically about WAC releases. I thought those were both released by WHV.
