Thanks, it’s on Watch TCM! ^PG #TCMParty #Gaslight1940

YES - the ending makes #Gaslight1940 far superior for me

MUCH more star power in the remake. But, I found the 1940 original to be more feral, which I enjoyed. The denouement had more teeth, in my opinion. #Gaslight1940 #TCMParty

I'm going to say it:

"Gaslight" (1940) > "Gaslight" (1944)

Thank you, Detective Exposition.

American Version of "Gaslight": "We're going to take our time and slowly build the atmosphere and the tension."

British Version of "Gaslight": "The clock's ticking. We gotta move this bugger along."

Now I’m intrigued. Apparently there is a 1962 TV version of LAURA (produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk) with Anton Walbrook as Waldo Lydecker and Hildegard Knef as Laura Hunt. #TCMParty #Gaslight1940 youtu.be/LXySR37r3QU?...

When I saw the MGM opening I was disappointed but then remembered: Mayer not only bought the rights but tried to suppress and/or eliminate every copy of this 1940 version. #TCMParty #Gaslight1940

And now, the #Gaslight1940 drinking game: take a swig every time a character says “queer” and drain the glass if s/he says “queer” twice in one sentence. #TCMParty
