Comment
A man is psychologically traumatised by his father constantly filming him in childhood especially his fears. He now works in the film industry and films women in fear as he is about to kill them, but he starts to evaluate his actions after meeting a woman (Anna Massey) and her mother (Mazine Audley) who live in the same house. This is Michael Powell's examination of vouyerism and what attracts people to it. At the heart of the film is the enigmatic performance from Carl Boehm as he reveals nothing of what is going on in his mind. There is strong support from a good British cast including Anna Massey, Moira Shearer, maxine Audley and Shirley Anne Field. This is the sort of film that is disturbing yet keeps you watching. .
