Cukor never been a director that interests me too. His work seems formally correct but common or garden, without any originality, devoid of life. Do we owe, at least, being a great director of female stars, as has been said over and over again? It is possible, but... how often that he never worked bad actress?. Movie studios surrounded the good old Cukor always the most select group of actors, in ... read more

Time to demonstrate my gay card as I speak positively over Gaslight’s two hours of diva in full martyrdom! George Cukor’s gothic melodrama about a naïve young wife being slowly driven insane by her gold-digging husband is a lot of fun.

"5.3. Paha ja ilkeä mies on niin paha ja ilkeä, että oivalluksen hetkille ei käsikirjoituksessa ole tilaa tai aikaa. Elokuva onkin oikeastaan kliininen suoritus, jonka ilot ovat sen läpinäkyvässä, loistavassa puhtaudessa. Näyttävät lavasteet ovat maineensa veroiset, Bergman roolissaan mainio, mutta parasta elokuvassa taisi olla se, kuinka nti Thwaites luki dekkaria junassa ääneen hykerrellen."
