Watching Michael Powell's Peeping Tom, we get a fascinating glimpse into the London of 1960; the shops, the fashions, the architecture, the attitudes, so different from the London of today. I have unintentionally learned about all kinds of different places from watching movies; France, Poland, the USA, Argentina, for example, seeing Milos Forman's A Blonde In Love we get a real insight to what it was like to live in Czechoslovakia at that time. Perhaps the cinema educates adults in the way fairy tales do children, that is, without them realising they're being educated?
