@mistressofthemacabresworld replied to your post “awwww, Peter! I just want to hug him. He looks so...”:

What did george raft do? (sorry I really don't know about him and his life)

​Raft was, by several accounts, something of an insecure bully. He got into fights with other actors from time to time, including Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson, and once he apparently punched Peter Lorre onto the floor. Peter was, as usual, being mildly annoying on set, but that's no excuse for what happened (from Lorre's biography The Lost One):

___

One of Warner Bros.’ more turbid spy melodramas, Background to Danger is probably better remembered for the fireworks behind the scenes. According to Mack Grey, Raft’s personal assistant, in one scene Raft sat tied up in a chair while Lorre blew smoke in his face. Cautioned to “knock it off,” Lorre instead laughed and persisted, earning him a belated clobbering in his dressing room.

Harvey Parry, Lorre’s stuntman, offered another version:

Peter was a little character and he knew exactly what he was doing when he was in a scene. And he was on this little bench, tailor style, with a cigarette and talking at the same time. George and Brenda Marshall were also in the scene and George asked Peter what the hell he was doing.

Peter says, “What do you mean?”

“With that cigarette.”

He says, “I’m stealing the scene.”

“You’re stealing the scene from whom?”

“From you and Brenda.”

“How can you do that?”

“They’re like you, they all watch me.”

George says, “You son of a bitch.”

So the scene was over and they had a little confrontation.

“Don’t put that cigarette in your mouth again.”

He says, “Georgie, I do what I want, you do what you want. I wish you good luck.” He bombed him. He hit poor Peter. He knocked him right off the little couch he was on.

Walsh grabbed him and said, “Now come on, George. He’s just a little helpless guy.”

Jack Dales, executive secretary of the Screen Actors Guild, told Warner Bros. general counsel Roy J. Obringer, that he would take no action on the George Raft–Peter Lorre matter unless a formal complaint was filed. In such a case, he added, the guild would have full jurisdiction to make a binding decision. But things never got that far. After Lorre agreed to return to work, Obringer assured Jack Warner that he found both actors “are working this morning.”

#peter lorre #george raft #I mean that's not normal right? #peter was cheeky to everyone but raft was the only one to hit him for it :(
