Gaslight (1940) (Blu-ray & DVD) (UK Import)

1 Blu-ray Disc, 1 DVD

Blu-Ray Disc

The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

DVD

Most of the offered DVDs have the region code 2 for Europe and the PAL picture format. However, we also offer releases from the USA, which come on the market in NTSC format and with the country code 1. This is then indicated in our item details.

Anton Walbrook and Diana Wynyard star in this classic British thriller based on Patrick Hamilton's play. After Alice Barlow (Marie Wright) is murdered in her own home by a thief seeking her priceless jewels the house lays empty for 20 years until the arrival of newly-weds Paul and Bella Mallen (Walbrook and Wynyard). Although he tries to divert his wife's attention away from his suspicious behaviour by convincing her she's going mad, Paul uses gaslights to search the house's closed upper floors for Alice's hidden jewels during the night. As B. G. Rough (Frank Pettingell), a detective from the original, unsolved murder case, becomes increasingly suspicious of Paul, he suspects him of hiding a sinister past identity...

Reviews

Lexikon des Int.Films: "Im viktorianischen London spielender Psychothriller, der vor allem durch eine effektvolle Kameraarbeit eine wohlig bedrohliche Atmosphäre schafft."
