Gaslight (released in the United States as Angel Street) is a 1940 British psychological thriller directed by Thorold Dickinson starring Anton Walbrook, Diana Wynyard and Frank Pettingell. It was written by A. R. Rawlinson and Bridget Boland.
The film adheres more closely to the original play upon which it is based – Patrick Hamilton's Gas Light (1938) – than does the 1944 MGM remake.
