Powell’s solo effort Peeping Tom (1960) was greeted with a revulsion from which his career never recovered.

The accents are different, with the non-Irish Mason more posh and patrician by nature. Far from being self-deluded, he is a questing individual, turning his back on easy money and the temptations of big city life in order to reinvent himself.

Despite the lurid title, the film isn't sensationalistic or pornographic.

It isn’t “The Red Shoes,” but even the great Michael Powell could only manage one or two those.

Rating: R, nudity

Cast: James Mason, Helen Mirren, Neva Carr-Glynn and Jack MacGowran. This is truly a great film and I was so glad I was able to view this film which is rarely seen in the United States, enjoy.

He starts decorating the place with dabs of color and found objects.

But he’s being watched, and robbed. In the first place, Cora was not swimming for pleasure, she was diving for seafood to augment her impoverished lifestyle. Mason (who also co-produced) plays a role similar to the one he played in Stanley Kubrick's notorious film version of "Lolita".

with nudity!

THE AGE OF CONSENT made in 1969 on Dunk Island of the great barrier (coral) reef was quite a success in Australia in its day. Certain sequences just between Mirren and Mason are so effective that the viewer is left with the extraordinary feeling of having actually been there with them that day on the beach.

The opening scene is now hilarious with a risqué painting of the Columbia woman Logo as part of a provocative art exhibition.

Odd movie, but definitely worth watching

I caught this rather odd but interesting movie at 1 AM on TCM one night (I guess insomnia isn't always a bad thing).

The story has a text and a lively sub text — everybody seems to be stealing from the artist, and he in turn, is stealing Cora’s ephemeral youth and immortalizing it on canvas.

Reputations were made and broken on this tale of a jaded artist returning to his homeland to rediscover his mojo. Mason's interest, despite what some of the townsfolk might think, is purely artistic.

An after-film Q&A segment revealed this color film(ed) method and I am happy to pass on this important piece of tech info. He has been unjustly ignored in this film's reputation and it is time to celebrate his appearance (as the spunky gauche youth, Ted) and recognize his astonishing good looks and hilarious turn trying to be Cora's boyfriend.

There’s virtually nothing here that smacks of “soundstage,” although the New York scenes had to be faked, and there are interiors that were most certainly sets.

I was surprised that the only real offense to modern sensibilities is fairly tame and confined to the faintly-icky finale. It's often very funny, especially with Jack MacGowran and Neva Carr-Glynn.

Well the planet can now rejoice because a carefully restored complete version is now available and has had a premiere screening in Sydney in the magnificent 2300 seat State Theatre as part of the 2005 Sydney Film Festival.
