The way the light is on his face, his eyes - ! The touch of gray they put in his hair - the quirk of his eyebrows matching the quirk of his bowtie.

Completely out of context but just by seeing the word "blunder," I am reminded of Peter Lorre's line at the end of this most excellent scene here:

(The watchfulness, the quiet menace, the movements, the little raising up on his heels, the way he turns, the way you know he'll strike as the scene fades out--)

i will give tiktok one concession and that is that it has spawned a comment that contains a phrase that i think of often at relevant moments: pack it up boys we've made a social blunder

The face behind the mask

Peter Lorre in a promo shot for "Black Angel." Though in reality he played Marko much more subtly, with appropriately seedy accents mingled with a hidden desire to rise above his circumstances, because Peter Lorre is just that awesome at infusing his characters with facets.

Peter Lorre looking so good (the way he's posed just does something to me) in "My Favorite Brunette" (1947), with Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, and Lon Chaney, Jr.

Screenland (Jan–Jun 1947)

Peter stands out in any ensemble scene. <3

Going back to one of the stills in particular, the way his hand is wrapped around Bob Hope's waist gives me the salacious feels:

Peter Lorre in "Crime & Punishment."

I would GENTLY SUGGEST that people watch Peter Lorre in "Three Strangers."

Why: This 1946 film noir is a sophisticated noir crime drama with Peter in the lead role - which is also one of romance! If you are used to typing Peter Lorre as "horror," this movie will unlock a whole world of his genius. It's like a gateway drug to his other works.

With Sydney Greenstreet, Geraldine Fitzgerald, and Joan Lorring.

new question if you could force all of ur followers to watch/play through/read one piece of media what would it be

A favorite portrait of Peter Lorre from "The Verdict" (1946).

So debonair. So wicked-faun-come-hither.
