The Classic Horrors Club Podcast EP 114: Peter Lorre Redux

If you don’t know Peter Lorre, he “became a cinematic icon with his bulging, froglike eyes, accented delivery, and unmatched ability to portray odd, quirky, and menacing characters.”

For this month’s meeting, we delve deep into the life and legend of Peter Lorre, focusing on a dark film from the beginning of his career, M (1931), and a comedic film near the end of his career, The Comedy of Terrors (1963.) And, as with all our retrospectives, we’ll also talk about everything in between.
