Remembering Karlheinz Bohm, a.k.a. #CarlBoehm (1928-2014), the Austrian-German film and stage actor, born in Darmstadt #OnThisDay. He worked for Disney, Fassbinder and George Pal but best remembered as Mark Lewis, the lonely, disturbed would-be filmmaker / murderer in #MichaelPowell's remarkable #PeepingTom (1960).

Peeping Tom (1960), the serial killer/voyeurism movie that wrecked director Michael Powell's career. A superb movie that remains disturbing.
Like Hitchcock's Psycho (from the same year) it pushed the edge of the envelope as far as screen terror was concerned.

La historia de un amor en plena guerra no es nada nuevo, pero #EmericPressburger y #MichaelPowell decidieron elevarlo a los altares, literalmente, con un derroche de imaginación e innovación que marcarían #AVidaoMuerte #AMatterofLifeandDeath como una de las mejores películas de la historia y punto de referencia para muchos cineastas posteriores (sobre todo, del género fantástico).
El plano de esa maravillosa escalera (#StarwaytoHeaven) es magnífico.
