I originally wanted to do a bigger piece, but I intimidated myself into a burnout, so I just decided to do a small test panel first. I really love the animated short film LOUISE made by the graduates over at Gobelins and wanted to mash it together with The Verdict (1946). For now my goal was just to make it look like a screenshot from an animated version of the movie. I think it looks close enough.

I will leave the short film under the cut, but fair warning it does deal with some heavy themes, such as ballet performers turning to prostitution to make ends meet. If you are uncomfortable with that, maybe just sit this one out.

"Off-screen as well as on, baby-faced bogeyman Peter Lorre's hardboiled-egg eyes are principal assets of his sinister, acidly sophisticated personality."

What an epithet! I haven't seen that many adjectives since my own fledgling writing attempts.

From the Warner Bros pressbook for "Three Strangers." Lots more under the cut - including sketches!

Here's the full article from the opening pic:

Celebrity Corner (and that shading makes it look like Peter Lorre has be-yoo-ti-ful eyelashes along with his gorgeously cleft chin):

4-part story panel:

Be on the lookout!

"I'd rather be a comic."

Even though they stuck Sydney's picture in the middle of this article, here's allegedly why Peter got fired from a stage role in 1924:

Even in newsprint, what lovely faces!

[unidentifiedprimate]

"You see, nobody's ever treated me the way you treat me. Johnny, I've been knocked about ever since I was a kid. I can't remember anything else; I just thought that was the way people acted, that's all. You make me feel like... like I was somebody. At first I thought you was making fun of me, but you're not. That's just the way you are."

"I'd hurt you more than anybody."

"You couldn't hurt a soul, Johnny. You can't even hate anyone. You don't even hate Fallon."

"No. That's right. If I could hate Fallon, I suppose I... I could love you. Funny."

Three Strangers, 1946

I made this a while ago as a sort of test. I wanted to keep all the dialogue over the new music track, but the original scene had music of its own, and I don't know how to remove that, so I just muted it. It's such a sweet scene, though. Music is from the Suite for orchestra No.1 in C major, by George Enescu.

--CRASHING IN: I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF PETER LORRE + ROMANCE--

Get this and more in "Three Strangers" (above) and "The Verdict" (below).

"I am, of course, physically limited to a certain extent. I could not, for instance, play the sort of part that calls for Clark Gable. I could not play a tall Viking with a crest of gold on my head. But those are minor limitations. It does not mean that I cannot play the lover, the adolescent, the dreamer, the murderer, the Falstaff—since all of the emotions, love and hate and fear and sorrow and joy are in the mind." -Peter Lorre, as recounted in The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre

From "Die Koffer des Herrn O.F." :D

couples themed photoshoots and old romance films have such a Grip on me they're all so destian and it makes me unwell LIKE

Lorre's Cat Café: Vicky

Vicky's playfulness rivals Polo's.

And he. Loves. Catnip.

Vicky isn't much of a hunter, but he relishes the sweet scent of death. He seems fascinated by dead animals, and loves to roam the cemetery that's adjacent to our back yard. He gets out every night, but always wanders back shortly before sunrise (and feeding time).

He's also fond of Lottie, the unfixed outdoor tortoiseshell cat who lives at the music studio across the street. We're expecting a paternity suit any day.

In 1913, the time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 10) and his companion Martha were chased back through time to Earth 1913 by an alien family. Since the family could detect a Time Lord, the Doctor’s race, the Doctor used a special device to alter his DNA to make him human and forget his true identity. He became a teacher at a school for boys and Martha a servant. The family took over human bodies and continued to search for the Doctor and also managed to create an army of animated scarecrows. ("Human Nature/The Family of Blood", Doctor Who, vlm 3, TV)

Heyyyy

Back again! We kinda need some names and pronouns for some (William) Afton Fragments, we have a few, and they wanna be different from each other but they don't know how

Ok, one is based on Glamrock Bonnie, one is a corpse, one is a glamrock oc, one is a springtrap, and we have a springbonnie

Sorry if that's a lot, they've just kinda been fighting lately, and we wanna settle this

😊😊🥰🥰🥰awwwwww I like it...I know tarot cards and Guanyin（Kwan Yin）. I like the choice of this lover card and the practice of replacing angels with Guanyin.This is in line with the movie.

🥰🥰🥰What a lovely couple ... They are both very cute.This scene is very healing.😇😇Gooooood job.

The Peter Lorre tarot: featuring Johnny West and Icey Crane as the Lovers. I had a lot of options for this card, but I eventually settled for @peterlorrefanpage ‘s suggestion to use Johnny West from The Three Strangers for this one. And it’s appropriate, because this card is all about important choices, and the film is all about bad choices (and bad luck)… plus, I could use the statuette of Kwan Yin to replace the angel on the Rider-Waite deck
