PEEPING TOM (1961) 8029 Movie Poster

Italian 13x27. Very Good. Re-release of the Sixties.

Italian 13x27 poster, a re-release of the 1960s, for the Michael Powell horror thriller, PEEPING TOM (1960) starring Karlheinz Bohm, Moira Shearer, and Anna Massey. This lurid tale chronicles a lonely, unfriendly, and sexually repressed young man (Bohm), who is obsessed with the effects of fear and uses his movie camera to film the dying expressions of terror on the women he kills. Director Powell positions his camera directly behind murderer Mark, thus making the audience unwilling accomplices in these despicable acts of violence. Whatever the real reason for Powell making this film, he signed his career's death warrant with its release. The film opened to scathing reviews in April 1960, just months after Alfred Hitchcock's similarly themed PSYCHO (1960). The British public wasn't ready for PEEPING TOM, and Powell, who had a distinguised career in British cinema, exiled himself to Australia. This poster is a re-release poster from the 1960s, and shows some signs of use and some damage to the lower border area.
