Born in Darmstadt, Germany in 1927, the son of noted conductor Karl Boehm, and known by a variety of mutations (Carl, Karl, Bohm, etc), he deserves a place here for his haunting portrayal of the sex-obsessed murderer in Michael Powell's notorious masterpiece, Peeping Tom (1960). He also worked in Hollywood (e.g., The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, d. Vincente Minnelli, 1961), but mostly in Germany. Brian McFarlane, Encyclopedia of British Film
