Nevertheless, I am an extremely big fan of old set designs, especially Spellbound (collaboration with Salvador Dali), any Powell and Pressburger movie, Charlie Chaplin's and more.

In addition to this, I loved the set design in the movie and even though I do not find Oscar's any trustworthy, back then the movie actually won the Best Production Design, in addition to Ingrid Bergman's Best Actress award. So, as I said, it might be a strange coincidence. On the other hand, I will say that street sellers like flower, fruit and milk sellers were very famous back in London and they were also very famous for their singing.
So, my assumption was that the scene in the Gaslight influenced Oliver!'s director to recreate that scene as part of a musical drama.

In one of the scenes, we see a flower seller woman singing with her basket full of flowers and she singing "Who will buy." which is actually a very famous song from the 1968 movie Oliver! and the scene in Oliver! is also located in a square and it is a very similar style. So, as mentioned earlier, the new couple moves back into the London house which is located in one of the famous squares (Londoners would know those rich areas where houses are located around a square either with a park or a building like a church). Secondly, what I realised can be a complete coincidence yet it did not look like that to me at all. I could not help but associate with Ingrid Bergman's character Paula, even though there were many moments I wanted to slap her and scream at her. However, in Gaslight, he managed to disturb me extensively through the screen. (Again I haven't seen anything else from him). I feel like, maybe in different circumstances, there might be a chance that I would not like him. On the other hand, Charles Boyer was a new face for me and he managed to impress me a lot. My first movie with Bergman was Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945) and since then I like her a lot. However, what really made me respect this movie was the great acting of Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. There were some moments that I had to stop briefly because I could not handle the pressure of both characters.įurthermore, there are many great things about this movie. !
