Michael Powell will always be considered one of the great film directors of all time. Peeping Tom is without doubt his darkest and most troubling. Serial killers in the 50's and prior lived in the shadows, were uneducated and born to fallen women, or so the movies would show. Here is a killer who has wealth, high intelligence, is likeable and perhaps has a reason for his demons, not the thing you showed on the big screen in the 50's. An easy watch now compared to 60 years ago, but still troubling. This movie changed things. Martin Scorsese considers this one of his favourite movies and who am I to disagree with a genius.
