#I'll give a million

[peterlorrefanpage]

Because I love my little Louie. ❤️❤️

Warner Baxter & Peter Lorre (as Louie 'The Dope' Monteau), in "I'll Give a Million," 1938. Watch this delightful comedy (also with a bit role by John Carradine).

Also couldn't help but see certain similarities in this promo pic from the musical comedy, "Silk Stockings" (1957):

Allegedly you can watch that film here.

Just got another idea recently after watching "I'd Give a Million" and seeing Louie Monteau. (he's so damn cute🥺💕) Anyway, my thoughts were Louie finds an abandoned baby in an alleyway and immediately decides "ok you're mine now" despite knowing absolutely nothing about childcare. Nonetheless, he somehow manages via asking advice from random women and offering to work to earn money to buy clothes and formula for the baby.

Awww man, that's so cute. 😊 Seems like something he would do for sure! He'd spend the whole time being so anxious about this baby but he just can't bring himself to give it up. Meanwhile, some minor authority figure tries to send the baby to an orphanage, but by this time the Beggar's Union (or at least a loose collection of Louie's friends) has caught wind of the situation. They won't have any of it and start a noisy protest in front of the newspaper office. Chaos ensues. Somewhere along the way, there will be at least one misunderstanding/humorous insinuation that Louie is somehow the real father, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I am now really interested in this secret agent guy character. I started imagining him appearing in a blue coat often, so I'm calling him the Man in the Blue Coat and his origins and employers are intentionally obscure

I like taking a bit of some of my favorites of PL's roles in his designs, like he's got the scarf from the Stranger, sometimes I draw his hair like Louie, you can't see it here but he's got a bow tie like Stix

And maybe the blue is from Boo Berry even tho that was Paul Frees

really important Louie noises

I kind of want to be the people who hold him in that bottom left panel.

And the way he stretches in that top panel - !

He's the best when he's moving - so cute in these scenes - but something about his face in that newspaper picture is just killing me with its adorableness.

There's no turning back.

moggettt asked: Hey!! For art suggestions, possibly a Mike Chilton? Love that burner boi;; (I've been listening to Underdog by Kasabian and it has big motorcity vibes 🔥)

Yes!!!! Ah! My boy!!!!!! I saw a clip from Motorcity again the other day and it was Mike just cheerfully hopping backwards out of a window many stories up apparently just on the cheerful assurance that he'd figure something out on the way down, and. I love this fucking doofus. What a good main character lmao

Bonus: wet >>>>:(

Lounge like a decadent dandy on my papa's money and travel and solve mysteries or something

This is so what happens next in "I'll Give a Million" with Peter Lorre and John Carradine

Louie and Kopelpeck lounging decadently around the world and stumbling into shady situations they end up vanquishing through sheer dumb luck

And with lobsters with thermidor

I come out of the valley of disease and suffering barely in one piece only to sit in an office and make an animation for some local government about building new neighborhoods? I want my money back. I was made to lounge like a decadent dandy on my papá’s money and travel and solve mysteries or something
