Hey, Miss P., have you ever seen Gaslight? The play and the movies based on it gave a name to a form of psychological abuse.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Spellbound, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, had a surreal dream sequence designed by Salvador Dalí
Funny, I never stopped to consider that Ingrid Bergman starred in both of those movies... far out.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I appreciate the essence of the classics more so, thank you for these suggestions. Wow how young was Gregory Peck in Spellbound! I guess Ingrid Bergman leaned towards meaningful films (including Notorious) that Hitchcock directed. :)
ReplyDeleteNice post,Thanks for sharing.
