"... THE FUNDAMENTAL THINGS A-PLY, AS TIME GOES BY!" What do you think? Here's another line or two... "MOONLIGHT AND LOVE SONGS, NEVER OUT OF DATE! ... BOGIE LOOKS GROUCHY, BUT INGRID SURE LOOKS GREAT!" Okay, I'll stop now!

If it wasn't three in the morn, I'd hop down to the library and check "The Films of Peter Lorre," my favorite of the Citadel series . . .

Just today I got a copy of Mad Love and he was awesome as Dr. Gogool. Enjoyed seeing Colin Clive in it as well, did not know that Ted Healy was in it till tonight. Saw quite a bit in Mad Love that reminded me of his performance in "M". I'll have to check out some of the others I saw listed here. Wish more were on DVD.

Posts: 7251 Jul 21 01 8:53 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hmmm. Rich, I usually do NOT subscribe, because I like to keep the old "comic book" shops, etc. going. By that I mean, that by hunting for SCARLET STREET, if I have the money, I'll grab a copy of CULT MOVIES or MID. MAR. MONSTERS or perhaps and old comic book reprint, etc. However, the saving of some 20 smackers is a good reason to subscribe. I must think this over...

It has definitely moved to my top 5 fav Lorre performances. (Wish I was quick enough to catch his full name as he introduced himself. It may be longer than Tucco's in The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) (Sorry, I don't know how I got from Alfred Hitchcock to spaghetti westerns?!?) I don't think I ever saw the movie before. I like it much better than The Man Who Knew Too Much. For me it seemed to flow better. Lorre's character could be funny and charming, but also chilling when he had "work" to do. Loved his accent, I don't remember seeing him with a moustache before or in a role as a ladykiller.
