The image currently being used for this film is actually from the 1901 film, Par Le Trou De La Serrure (What is Seen Through the Keyhole), directed by Ferdinand Zecca. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BookhouseBoy (talk • contribs) 03:57, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does this even exist?[edit]

* the reference mentioned (Beja, Morris; Benstock, Shari (1989). Coping with Joyce: Essays from the Copenhagen Symposium. Ohio State University Press. p. 154. ISBN 978-0-8142-0467-2) does NOT mention a "Peeping Tom" from 1897 - but at that page, a "Peeping Tom in the Dressing Room" from 1905
* the very picture used by this article is from Zecca's movie from 1901 (Par le trou de la serrure) that this article claims is often confused with...
* every single copy of this movie advertised on youtube is just a sepia tinted version of Zecca's movie, including the link that was previously added to this page
* Zecca's movie is properly researched and documented in Kino's boxset btw
* Morris Beja on page 147 does mention a Peeping Tom movie, allegedly from 1901, by George W. Smith - however, this is not mentioned anywhere else (but in Joyce exegetic literature, possibly parroting Beja?) - the date "1901" also matches Zecca's entry, suggesting a possible mis-attribution
* imdb entry has exactly the same flaws (picture is from Zecca's...), and is even less substantiated

By all means, this entry is dubious. At the very least, it lacks any serious reference to substantiate it exists.

Advice?
