To jump to Goodfellas, it’s an astonishing piece of editing, the confidence is overwhelming. Did you feel confident when you were putting it together?
Schoonmaker:
>Oh, we knew it was going to be a great one... And, you know, the wonderful thing is that my husband got that movie made, because Marty couldn’t get it made. All the studios kept saying to him, ‘Take out the drugs.’ And he said ‘The drugs are the story of the movie, we can’t take it out.’
>
>He tried three times to sell it, and he was in despair. I came home to my husband and I said ‘Marty’s really having trouble’, and he said, ‘read me the script’ – because my husband, he could see, but his eyes had degenerated which meant he was not able to read.
>
>So I read him the script. He said, ‘Get Marty on the phone,’ and I did – it was a Sunday, the one day I got off! – and he said, ‘Marty, you have to make this movie. This is the most brilliant script I’ve read in 20 years, you have to make this movie.’ Marty went in one more time and he got it made.
>
>My husband died before he saw it, but he got it made, and it saved me. Because when my husband died, I didn’t want to live anymore, and I had to come back to Goodfellas.
>
>Marty shut the movie down, because he loved Michael so much, to let me take him back to England. I didn’t want him to die in America.
>
>He waited two months, until Michael died, and he shut the movie down, the editing, and then when I came back, I knew if I didn’t go back and help Marty, my husband would kill me.
>
>So, I went back and it pulled me out of my grief, and so it’s a film that has much resonance, you know? It’s just a shame that Michael never saw it, he would have loved it.

An extensive reshuffle then. Nandy and Thomas-Synonds both moved, replaced by Cooper and Lammy respectively.
Peeping Tom is a film characterised by its vibrant colour scheme and taboo subject matter. At the time, Peeping Tom’s tale of a tormented young man and his insatiable desire for murder was described as evil, beastly, depressing, nauseating and pornographic. It has since undergone a major critical reappraisal and for my money, it is one of the most gorgeous horror films out there.
Peeping Tom stars German-Austrian actor Karlheinz Böhm as Mark, a serial killer who is terrorising the young, sexually alluring women of London. He’s like an awkward mix of Michael Caine and Peter Lorre, with the voice of Kif from Futurama. His favourite hobby, aside from murder, is video photography. Indeed, he works as a focus puller on movie sets, but even in his spare time, he never leaves home without his camera. Mark never knows; The urge to film or to kill could strike at any moment and he needs to be prepared. You see, Mark’s hobbies are not mutually exclusive. Not only does he prey on unsuspecting women, he likes to immortalise their final moments on video, capturing the very essence of total terror, as he penetrates them with a blade hidden within the tripod. The film follows Mark as he succumbs to his uncontrollable nature, while attempting to subdue it as the nice lady from downstairs takes a romantic interest in him.
Powell and Pressburger were one of Britain’s greatest directing assets in the 1940s. Together they directed some of the most famous and well regarded films of the era; A Canterbury Tale, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus and A Matter of Life and Death, to name but a few. Peeping Tom was one of Michael Powell’s first solo efforts after disbanding his winning streak partnership with Pressburger.
What he created was yet another work of art, though notably more taboo than the aforementioned dramas. Peeping Tom deals openly with sex, lust and death. Dodgy old fellers are seen perusing backdoor catalogues of nudey ladies, the scenes chock full of tongue-in-cheek dirty humour. Mark moonlights as a photographer for such pornography and can’t help but murder those he feels a sexual attraction towards. On the surface, it sounds like a fall from grace in comparison to Powell’s classy backlog, but the film is exquisitely stylised and more influential than it was first given credit for. It also signals the horror genre to come, and indeed, society to come. The 60s saw great changes in attitudes towards sexual openness and freedoms. It’s not
