I feel like he's a master of psychology and often uses that over physical force to get what he needs

Bless you for saying this!

Peter, of course, would have given interviewers even more disparaging descriptors - the fried eggs one comes to mind - and I get that it's his own particular sense of humor.

But damn. Peter, baby, your eyes captivate and compel even through a scan of a photo on a screen; even through all these years.

put those big brown eyes away dude now is NOT the time

Peter Lorre Fanfic

What happens when you mix the world of Blackadder II with a suave, enigmatic Peter Lorre? Illegality, intrigue, hilarity, a touch of psychological terror – and a powerful sensual charge.

"Inn" is a M/M story set in an alternate Elizabethan timeline. Slashy, slow burn romance with explicit delights await!

Chapter 27 just dropped

Or start from the beginning

Really just reblogging for the shots of Peter Lorre. Lookit him in the background of that one:

Oh, we're not trying to steal the scene, oh no, not at all

The Maltese Falcon (1941)

Agh.

"During the making of 20,000 Leagues under the Sea (1954), Lorre enthusiastically confided to Fleischer that he was working on a murder-comedy that he wanted to produce. Most likely, this was The Survivor, a screenplay by fellow émigré and friend Hans Wilhelm — based on an original story by Peter Lorre and Hans Wilhelm — about a professional pallbearer who ingratiates himself with grieving and vulnerable widows. A sucker for a pretty face, he nearly cons himself out of a handsome legacy when he pushes a pyramid scheme that plays on the time difference between Rome and New York. When the scam backfires, he attempts to murder his patroness. He botches the job and retreats, under the guise of amnesia, to a sanatorium where, with the happy grin of an accomplished moron, he hatches a plot to win his freedom and enjoy the fruits of his labor. It is natural to suppose that Lorre also expected to star in this comedy vehicle, which he planned to shoot in Italy with a foreign cast. Wilhelm had captured his collaborator on paper, freeze-framing a mocking and mischievous wit, full of wry charm. It was a role after Lorre’s own taste, and likely one of his own design." - From "The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre," by Stephen D. Youngkin

Someone bought this screenplay in 2021. Would love to see it. I can imagine it - but damn it, this needs to be out there.

Reblogging because I did not know about this and this is very cool & helpful.

my friend just told me that there’s a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you’ve turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

I am here for the saving of Peter Lorre one frame at a time

A very quick doodle before I go to sleep of Morgan Heywood telling the main dancers where to stand on the stage. In a nice skirt because he likes being comfortable during rehearsals

Per tags, I need a Peter Lorre algorithm as well. Marketers, take note: This is the way to win my money and affection.

Also I would so have been that professor with a crush, had I been a professor or there at the time, forsooth.

But since I'm here and you're here, @allhailruthgordon, if you are intrigued in any way, may I show you to my massive list of Peter Lorre movies/TV/radio links.

Shortcut to a Peter Lorre movie pack is via @peterlorres21stcentury and is here.

How does one accidentally watch 3 movies with Peter Lorre in them in a row?

Genuinely how did I manage this. I didn’t know he was in any of those movies

I was tagged by @soapkaars and glad of it!

9 albums I've been listening to recently. I'll admit up front it's largely more certain songs from said albums than entire albums. :)

In order of the random order I piled these in:

Hunting High and Low, by a-ha. I hone in on: "The Blue Sky," "Living a Boy's Adventure Tale," "The Sun Always Shines on TV," and "Take On Me." Morten Harket and his ethereal voice. ❤️

Rock a Little, by Stevie Nicks. The whole damn album. "Some Become Strangers" is my current earworm. "Part of me used to love you / part of me still does."

Demos, Vol 1, by Oracle Sisters. I listen to "Asc. Scorpio" just about every day.

Radio Retaliation, by Thievery Corporation. "The Forgotten People" is a bountiful get-up-off-your-arse gorgeous mix of sounds.

Don't Say No, by Billy Squier. Lotta songs here, but "In the Dark" is my especial favorite. I mean, my god: "You never listen to the voices inside / They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide / You're never sure if the illusion is real / You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel..."

Let The Festivities Begin! by Los Bitchos. "Pista (Fresh Start)" is another get the hell up and dance song. Instrumental psychedelic sunshine cumbia.

The World Within, by Moderator (Vinyl Edition 2017). For this beauty: Words Remain.

I, Robot, by The Alan Parsons Project. Concept album. "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" and "Breakdown" are on a continual rotation. The existential despair at the end of the latter is superb.

Prelude to Ecstasy, by The Last Dinner Party. Because "Nothing Matters" gets in my head and the video is sublime.

Tagging @peterlorrelove, @peter-lorre-stan, @faith-alhazred @aaronshattuck, no pressure, absolutely none!

GAHH now I am waiting with bated breath

Everybody go read this Peter Lorre fic

@peterlorrefanpage replied to your post “I guess I enjoy writing "one character performs a...”:

Oooh, between this and the previous post, now I suddenly think Ferenc may have aspirations for more than just an easier lifestyle - he may want a very specific one... *sinister*

​There is so much I want to say but cannot reveal! For now I'll just say that he had a certain, hm... checkered past.

OMG that's right! The "Totmacher" scene!

Even his hand is so iconic. ❤️

Liked for the phrase "crumpled cat," that's exactly what he is, hehe!

ooh ooh, Der Verlorene had a scene on the stairs! Here he is, visible from the shadows only by one hand:

At least she had the sense to run. I'm not certain I would. 😁

Peter Lorre & Stairs

Stranger on the Third Floor (1940):

Mr. District Attorney (1941):

All Through the Night (1942):

(Dying on steps like a crumpled cat still counts.)

Arsenic and Old Lace (1944):

Black Angel (1946):

Obliquely, I suddenly recalled a line from The Bishop's Mantle (by Agnes Sligh Turnbull, 1947 - read it here) where Lexa, the young bishop's firecracker of a wife, refers to one of the parishioners as being in a very fast crowd - "it really steps!"

So now I'm conflating Peter Lorre on stairsteps as symptomatic of him really steppin'.

We'll close with just one more (because I Arsenic and Old Laced myself out of space) -

Columbia photoshoot (1935):

Please do and please tag me when you do!!

Two other Peter Lorre films that should have been made

IMG text: "Up to two days before his death, Lorre worked closely with Daniel Haller on the script for a black comedy titled It’s Alive. Lorre would have been featured as a desert snake farmer, whose wife (Elsa Lanchester) evolved into a serpent in the course of the story.

"'It was a psycho picture,' said Haller, 'but more of a comedy. Peter was going to be a pleasant murderer.'

"AIP had given the go-ahead for the project, which had only reached the story-outline stage when the actor died. Had the film been made, it would have marked Haller’s directorial debut and would have given Lorre his second credit as screenwriter.

"During this time, Lorre and Price’s friend Charles Bennett also wrote a screenplay capturing a personal side of their private lives:

"'[I]n which Peter would have played a very gentle, very kind, deeply devout old Spanish priest . . . combating the lovely, suave “villainy” of Vincent Price. It never crossed my mind (nor anyone else’s) that Peter would come over as a heavy; his gentle amiability would have come through one thousand percent. A lovely kindly priest. In any case, the movie wasn’t made . . . mainly because Vincent decided, perhaps rightly but I think sadly, that his image as a “heavy” had to be changed. . . . But Peter would have been wonderful as this wily old priest, with a sense of humor worthy of his devotion. . . . If the movie is ever made, I will find it hard to find as gloriously simple, amusing [an] actor who could take Peter’s place.'"

(Screenshot and excerpts from "The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre," by Stephen D. Youngkin.)

Okay, so-

Desert Snake Farmer Who Is a Pleasant Murderer - yes

Wily Old Gentle Spanish Priest - yes

We really need these things to manifest; come on, time travel, come on, fantasy to reality.

OMG OMG OMG

This is exactly what I needed to see (and hear) at this moment.

Peter Lorre's beautiful voice curling out at that moment - and that smile!

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT

Ok so remember the Warner Brothers annual blooper reels of Breakdowns and Blow-Ups? For some reason, this tiny outtake from "The Beast with Five Fingers" was always missing from online collections. I knew it existed as an extra on one DVD or another, but I did not know which. However, thanks to "The Lost One" bio, I found another place where this was shown: a 1991 documentary called Here's Looking at You, Warner Bros. Thank you, Internet Archive. I'm not sure why this one had French subtitles burned in but it's somehow funnier this way.
