Researchers into Powell & Pressburger habitually overlook the latter's solo credits, which are actually quite numerous and reveal that a romantic fascination with abnormal psychology was not exclusive to Powell.
Although Pressburger later admitted that he never actually saw Powell's later 'Peeping Tom' this has definite marked similarities, including the depiction of the activities of a homicidal killer accompanied on the soundtrack by an tingling piano score. It also contains a powerful performance by Eric Portman who had already starred in three previous films for The Archers, most notoriously as the 'glue man' in 'A Canterbury Tale'.
