Gaslighted

For years I’ve used the expression “you’re trying to gaslight me,” when someone was driving me crazy. I knew it came from the 1944 movie with Boyer, Cotton and Bergman, but I had never seen it.

Today it was on TV under the name Hantise. When I was little I thought Charles Boyer was an old man. A dogpile search showed he killed himself at 80 two days after his wife died. He must have been 46 when he made the film and he looked young and sexy. However, I still wouldn’t want to be gaslighted by him or anyone.
