One more for tonight. I don't remember who mentioned they wanted to see the "no money, no undies" clip from "Crack-Up," but I actually clipped this a while ago thinking I had a hilarious joke planned. Unfortunately I did not, and the scene is much funnier on its own.

Such an adorable capture of Peter Lorre as Colonel Gimby in "Crack-Up" (1936).

There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that this film influenced The Usual Suspects (1995).

which of the peter characters/peter parodies are most likeliest to fight? We know which ones would get along but I want to know which ones would hate each other with a burning passion.

Knife fight in front of a grocery store in broad daylight type of hatred ya kno?

Hmm good question. Starting with characters:

•I've thought and mentioned before about Abbott and Cairo meeting and not liking eachother and I see Abbott especially as a very good contender for someone who'd throw knives at his adversaries

•I can see Dr Lorentz hating Polo for being stupid, hating Petes beggar character from Du haut en baus for being poor and hating Louie for being stupid and poor, although he probably wouldn't physically assault any them of them unless they got too close to him or hung around too often in places he liked to go, being an eyesore for him(although polo would get revenge by stealing pocket kitten from him and Louie would pull a pretty woman by showing up to a fancy rich person party in nicer clothes than him)

•the general and gimpy are probably the most likely characters to throw knives at someone infront of a grocery store in Broad daylight and I can kind of see them both hating the other for creeping them out. That said, I think they'd each be funnier having an inexplicable hatred for a character who's likely to be minding their own business, not bothering them at all and only running in fear from them when they start throwing knives. Gimpys enemy can be Herman(who obviously isn't exactly innocent, but Gimpy doesn't know that) and THMs can be Editer Stix

As for caricatures. Its kinda hard to say since I see most fighting between the parodies as either just them being creepy and it being nothing personal or like, a predator/pray thing where some of the characters are genuinely just food in the eyes of others(Maggot would live in fear of any of them that eat bugs):

•I see Ren as being among the most likely to hold an actual grudge. Hed definitely throw knives in Broad daylight, although you might have to rile him up a bit first. I can see him hating any and all of the caricatures, but if he had to hate one in particular I'd go with Slappy. He has some traits in common with Stimpy and Rens cousin Sven that would really get under his skin and since he's already dead, Ren would frustratingly be unable to kill him

•J.P ghastly is another one who I can see feeling some real contempt. He'd hate anyone who was poor like Arthur and I can see him hiring yetch and constantly throwing knives at him for fun. Really I can see most of the parodies throwing knives at yetch, but for most of them it would just be out of amusement at the fact that he won't die. For JP it would be more personal

•Booberry is the opposite where most violence towards him is out of the other parodies despising him with a passion for being too kind. The only exception is Duckman Joel, who wants to eat him and he'd tear him up with his bare hands anyway

•Dr lorre-specifically the version of him from Birth of a notion, would hire Hugo as a lab assistant just to abuse him when he was in a bad mood, much like how he used to treat Leapold
