From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, and repeated every four hours throughout the day , it’s the described movie Gaslight from 1944.
Gaslight is an American mystery-thriller film, adapted from Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play Gas Light, about a woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is going insane.

The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay; winning two for Best Actress and Best Production Design.
The 1944 version was the second version to be filmed, following the British film Gaslight, directed by Thorold Dickinson and released in 1940.
Gaslight had a larger scale and budget than the earlier film, and lends a different feel to the material.
To avoid confusion with the first film, this version was originally given the title The Murder in Thornton Square in the UK.
This film features numerous deviations from the original stage play, though the central drama of a husband trying to drive his wife insane in order to distract her from his criminal activities remains.
