Boehm, Carl (1929-)
 

Actor

Main image of Boehm, Carl (1929-)

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.
