'''''Gaslight''''' is a [[1940 in film|1940]] [[film]] based on [[Patrick Hamilton (dramatist)|Patrick Hamilton]]'s play ''[[Gas Light]]'' (1938). It was released in the United States under the title ''Angel Street'' so that audiences would not confuse it with [[MGM]]'s [[Gaslight (1944 film)|1944 version]] starring [[Charles Boyer]] and [[Ingrid Bergman]], though both had essentially the same plot. The 1944 cinema ''Gaslight'' was released in England under the title ''The Murder in Thornton Square''.


==Plot==
For albums released by Wu-Tang Clan affiliates, see [[List of Wu-Tang Clan affiliate albums]].
The plot focuses on a young woman haunted by the murder of her aunt in a [[London]] townhouse that has lain vacant since the crime. Years later she is persuaded by her new husband to return in order to overcome her anxieties. She soon finds herself misplacing small objects and hearing odd noises, and before long her spouse has her believing she's losing her sanity.


This screen version, directed by [[Thorold Dickinson]] and starring [[Diana Wynyard]], [[Anton Walbrook]], and [[Frank Pettingell]], adheres closer to the original play than the [[Gaslight (1944 film)|1944 remake]]. The latter early on reveals the husband's sinister intentions, and cast handsome [[leading man]] [[Joseph Cotten]] as the detective who solves the case, contrasted with the heavyset, rougher and older Pettingell, who acts as a benevolent detective that intervenes after he observes strange events on his street. The 1940 version had a smaller budget than the more romantic 1944 edition, and concentrates on the abusive, manipulative marital relationship.
==Groups==
===A&R===
A group consisting of [[Armel]] and [[Sharecka]]. They have released the albums ''Non-Exclusive, Vol. 1'' (2005), ''Non-Exclusive, Vol. 2'' (2005) and ''A&R presents Hoodtrepeneurs, Vol. 1'' (2005).


===A.I.G.===
==Reception==
MGM reportedly tried to suppress release of the 1940 film in the United States, even to the point of trying to destroy the negative, so that it would not compete with their more publicized 1944 remake.<ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/oct/04/art.film.thorolddickinson</ref>
A.I.G. is a duo composed of Allah Wise and Darkim Be Allah. The group, whose name stands for "Allah Is God", debuted on the ''[[Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm]]'' compilation with the track "Bronx War Stories". An album titled ''Retaliation Strike'' was completed but was never released, a situation which eventually caused the group to leave the Wu-Tang stable and pursue an independent route, though they remain on good terms. They finally released their debut ''[[Fame Labs Presents]]'' in 2005.

Gaslight is a 1940 film based on Patrick Hamilton's play Gas Light (1938). It was released in the United States under the title Angel Street so that audiences would not confuse it with MGM's 1944 version starring Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman, though both had essentially the same plot. The 1944 cinema Gaslight was released in England under the title The Murder in Thornton Square.

Plot

The plot focuses on a young woman haunted by the murder of her aunt in a London townhouse that has lain vacant since the crime. Years later she is persuaded by her new husband to return in order to overcome her anxieties. She soon finds herself misplacing small objects and hearing odd noises, and before long her spouse has her believing she's losing her sanity.

This screen version, directed by Thorold Dickinson and starring Diana Wynyard, Anton Walbrook, and Frank Pettingell, adheres closer to the original play than the 1944 remake. The latter early on reveals the husband's sinister intentions, and cast handsome leading man Joseph Cotten as the detective who solves the case, contrasted with the heavyset, rougher and older Pettingell, who acts as a benevolent detective that intervenes after he observes strange events on his street. The 1940 version had a smaller budget than the more romantic 1944 edition, and concentrates on the abusive, manipulative marital relationship.

Reception

MGM reportedly tried to suppress release of the 1940 film in the United States, even to the point of trying to destroy the negative, so that it would not compete with their more publicized 1944 remake.[1]
