steamy!

jean-luc sent me this shot a few nights ago... what have we here? let's see... we've got humphrey bogart and peter lorre... in a steam room... obviously very towel-NUDE! like, i'm not sayin' there was anything gay goin' on... but they certainly seem comfortable bein' all 'Hollywood' nude together, playin' a game of cards. and hey, who knew lorre was rockin' so much hunky chest hair? hey, you know who won this card game? we did, for being able to dig on this steamin' shot of some old time-movie-star-'whackety-smackety.'

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.
