PS: presently one can refer to the schismatic Joker, Folie a Deux, Joachim Phoenix/Lady Gaga. Hollywood turned all these characters into DC comics flicks.
Transfer of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment book on screen with Lorre playing the main role of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov (“the schismatic one”). Allusion to Nazis at that time…
Another incredible piece of work from Lorre. He had just made ‘Mad Love’ and Hitchcock’s original ‘The Man Who Knew Too Much’. What a tremendous filmography! This continued into the 40s much like Karloff. The budgets were smaller but Lorre’s performances were just as impressive. In the late 30s, the ‘Mr. Moto’ series showed Peter to be traveling into serial land similar to Bela Lugosi. They both couldn’t shake their trademark accents which would eventually (and unfortunately) cripple their careers with Hollywood’s major studios. Thankfully, for we fans, the smaller studios embraced Lorre, Karloff and Lugosi. A few other Lorre highlights to mention during this era are ‘Island of Doomed Men’, ‘The Face Behind The Mask’ (which I just commented on) and ‘The Beast With Five Fingers’. Also, though it’s not a big role, Peter is memorable in the low budget noir classic ‘The Stranger On The Third Floor’. We don’t have an abundance of great character actors like this in Hollywood anymore. They began dying out in the 1970s. Thanks for this, RL.
Super. Thanks.
