About This Item
London: Constable, 1939. First Edition. Publisher’s stiff wrappers; price-clipped; minor fading and foxing; small glue spot under the cast list; very nearly fine. The play was the basis for a famous 1944 film version which starred Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman (an Oscar winning performance). It also marked the first screen role for the young Angela Lansbury, who was nominated for an Academy Award. An English 1939 film was suppressed by MGM so as not to interfere with this production. The title “Gaslight” has become a popular term to describe an intentional scheme to drive a victim into paranoia.
