PEEPING TOM (1960) movie review

Peeping Tom (1960) d. Powell, Michael (UK)

Lovely apartment tenant Anna Massey strikes up a tentative romance with her landlord/neighbor Carl Boehm, a handsome but painfully shy cameraman, unaware of his murderous compulsions. Powell’s brilliant examination of voyeurism - and the innate human desire to look but not be seen looking - is a film about watching in a medium intended to be watched, not passively, but actively.
