Misplaced critical vitriol torpedoed the original 1960 release of director Michael Powell’s psycho-horror.
Fifty years later, it’s an undisputed British masterpiece.
Scripted by Leo Marks, it tells of camera-obsessed victim-misfit Mark (gently tragic Carl Boehm), who’s in queasy thrall to an appalling quest for realism.
