The Mysterious Peter Lorre
Loading...
Uploaded by bobtoomey on May 14, 2010
Peter Lorre made an astonishing movie debut in 1931 as the child murderer in Fritz Lang's classic "M." It instantly made him world famous. He was clearly one of the finest film actors of his generation, but physical problems caused his eyes to bulge and his weight to fluctuate wildly, and the studios didn't know what to do with him. He was relegated to character roles, often playing freaks and monsters, but always with striking wit and sympathy, and he lit up dozens of movies that were beneath his talent. Take a look at the many faces of Peter Lorre and see if you don't agree that we were lucky to have had him at all.
Background music is Al Stewart's tribute to film noir, "The Year of the Cat."

Great compilation! Peter Lorre, just by being there, challenged the system on what a leading man should like and act like. He kept pushing for better roles, which brought him a lot of pain every time he wasn't listened to, but just the fact that he kept trying is still an inspiration for actors even today.
