Eric,
 
You might want to try contacting Linda Williams at UC Irvine.  She has
written several articles and a couple of books on the subjects,
women/film/pornography, etc.  Or if you like, you might refer to her book
"Hard Core: power, pleasure, and the frenzy of the visible" by Univ. of
Cal. Press, 1989.  As for the film "Peeping Tom" it is widely available
at most video stores.
