Review of Peeping Tom (1960) by Wu C — 15 Jul 2006
A masterpiece from Michael Powell which nearly destroyed his career. Misunderstood at the time of it's release as merely a purient film Peeping Tom is in fact a clever comment on the power of cinema featuring a cameraman who kills his female victims with a sharpened leg on his camera's tripod as he films them.
A creepy performance from unknown Carl Boehm and superb direction from Powell add to its great power.
