Peeping Tom 50yrs on

There has been a lot written about this movie; slammed as vile and depraved upon release, and leading to the premature death of one of Britain's greatest ever filmmakers, it, like Hammer's Dracula, has been reassessed as a masterpiece of British cinema. Martin Scorsese has just completed a remastering of the original print, which is now on re-release (in London at least!).
A couple of sample stories:
