Gaslight was one of most famous pscyological thrillers, made in 1944. It was about a scheming husband plotting to make his innocent young wife go insane in order for him to acquire her inheritance. The thriller genre helped to create suspence and shock at the plot of the film and throughout. This film is what made Cukor a iconic thriller directer as it was based on Gas Light by
Patrick Hamilton.
