I work in 911 dispatch, I had a call once upon a time, just an open line from a cell phone. Couldn’t make any contact, just heard what sounded like a male and female arguing, it was hard to make out, sounded a little muffled. It didn’t sound super heated but just enough enough that for liability reasons I felt like it should be checked out as a possible disturbance/domestic.
The cellular location was decent but not pinpoint accurate, and it dropped in the middle of a fairly densely populated area, so it could have been any of potentially a few dozen or so houses, apartments, or businesses. No answer when I called them back.
Entered the call with whatever information I had, and checked where the location was dropping on Google maps.
It was dropping at a small local playhouse. Out of curiosity I checked what shows they were doing.
It was Gaslight.
Police checked the area and didn’t find anything. So I’m pretty sure I was just listening to them rehearsing from inside of an actor’s pocket or something.
It’s actually based on a play, but yeah… “the gas lights aren’t flickering” is the original gaslighting
The film was nominated for a decent number of Oscars and won a handful iirc. Edit: womp, it went 2 for 7 at the Oscars.

The five gas lights aren’t flickering.
