The Film Programme: Peeping Tom (BBC Radio, 30/Mar/2007)
(Redirected from The Film Programme - Peeping Tom (BBC Radio, 30/Mar/2007))
Programme Description
Two films released in 1960 had a lasting effect on cinema in general and the horror genre in particular: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and Peeping Tom, directed by Michael Powell. But while Psycho enjoyed massive commercial success, Peeping Tom was critically damned and withdrawn from cinemas. As a new DVD edition is released, Francine talks to Michael Powell's widow (and distinguished film editor) Thelma Schoonmaker about the film. And the film historian Ian Christie and film critic Nigel Floyd discuss whether this film or Psycho has had a more profound influence on later directors.
