Description:
This is an original Italian locandina, a 13x27 smaller Italian
poster, for the 1960 British horror classic PEEPING TOM staring
Karl Boehm and Moira Shearer about a man who murders women
while using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of
terror. The famous British director Michael Powell, who directed
many great films including THE RED SHOES also staring Moira
Shearer, was vilified by the British press following the release of
the picture for being too disturbing, sadistic, obsessive, and
voyeuristic. The film was quickly recut and shown briefly in
American second-run houses. Martin Scorsese, a devout fan of
the movie, was responsible for releasing a restored version of
the movie in 1979. This Italian poster for the movie is in good
shape except for a rumpled and torn area of the top border
which we will repair with document repair tape (reversable).
THERE IS ALSO A SNIPE PASTED ON THE POSTER ABOUT THE
ADMISSION OF MINORS. WE RECOMMEND HAVING A
COMPETENT RESTORER REMOVE THIS SNIPE.
