I had my reservations when I first went to watch Peeping Tom for the first time, turns out they were completely unfounded it and it is indeed superb. Theres just something about the combination of the postcard titilation combined with how dark it is. It really went for the buttoned down English gent with relish.
Carl Boehm's accent lifts his character outside of everyone around him even more, its never explained (with good reason, it was never meant to be there in the first place) but it adds so much that I could not watch the film without his Mark.
