as i mentioned last night, after seeing fritz lang's 'M,' i have a new found respect and admiration for peter lorre. up until then, i must confess i knew him best from 'casablanca.' and don't get me wrong, he was excellent as ugatti, the black marketeer... but after seeing 'M,' i realized he was a criminally underrated talent. its clear to me he was quickly typecast by most American movies. if you ask me, he could've played anything. even a leading man. i should really learn more about him. i'll bet his story is well worth reading. here's to you, peter. wherever you are.
