The Films of Peter Lorre

Rating:
Summary: The absolute best source on Peter Lorre in English
Review: Coauthored by Stephen Youngkin, Lorre's authorized biographer, with a rare trove of photos and a wealth of facts not available anywhere else, this book not only offers detailed information on each of his film appearances (many of them rare or unavailable outside of Europe) but a fascinating and often moving discussion of Lorre's turbulent and tragic life and career. Usually remembered now as a "creepy" character actor who was Bogart and Greenstreet's sidekick, this reveals the true Lorre as a charming, intelligent man and dedicated artist who was cruelly denied the opportunities and recognition he deserved.

Rating:
Summary: excellent biography/filmography of Peter Lorre
Review: This book is a must-read for everyone interested in actor Peter Lorre. Unfortunately it is out of print but if you can get a hold of a used copy, it's well worth the price.
