I didn’t know that Martin Scorsese’s long-time editor Thelma Schoonmaker was married to Michael Powell—interesting.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that either until I saw that short TCM feature on The Red Shoes the other day. I suppose that in retrospect this explains why Scorsese took such an interest in preserving Powell's Peeping Tom...well, besides the fact that it's one hell of a movie.
I think Scorsese would have worked to preserve Peeping Tom anyway. It's the sort of unique, perverse creation he would treasure. However, it must have been a very special project for him.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what sorts of things Thelma and Michael talked about at the end of the day? The craft of moviemaking? Or maybe just gossip from the set?
