I still want to have a portrait series of him wearing sunglasses, mmm.

Which also looks ever so subtly different from this one:

I know he's got some makeup on, but somehow those eyebrows are doing it for me, and his eyes, and the way he's holding his mouth.

Imagine having a fan community that denigrated your work so! That's worse than being not a fan at all. Love the man through all of his seasons; he worked so hard, so long, when he was weary, when he was sick, right to the end. /retroactive ire

Oh, I wish that had happened, too! That "Collector's Item" pilot was such a good vehicle for Peter and Vincent. I would absolutely watch them solve a new antique-related mystery every week, but I guess the TV studio bigwigs thought otherwise. :(

Peter was just good in everything, wasn't he? I love that more people appreciate his TV shows now, because I can remember a time when his existing TV performances 1) weren't as readily available, and 2) were disparaged by the fan community as "inferior" and not worth watching. This could not be further from the truth. He's always worth watching. 🥰

Those are such good points (including for your own character inspiration!). I'm thinking now of how he started out on the stage and just blew everybody away, and then later how excellent he was on radio.

While I probably do love him in his movies the best, because that's where we get to see and hear him the most, comparatively speaking, I wonder if television provided a satisfying medium for him between radio and the stage, and possibly even between radio and the movies.

As much as the plots could serve him, of course. I'd hope that any director and actor would be thrilled to work with him, and I still wish he could have made that TV series with Vincent Price, or that someone had developed his very own detective series for him.

Watch: Peter Lorre in "The Diplomatic Corpse" (1957)

Alfred Hitchcock Presents "The Diplomatic Corpse," a light comedy starring Peter Lorre as private detective Tomas Salgado and directed by Paul Henreid.

Plot: "A married couple stands to inherit 30,000 British pounds when the wife's aunt riding with them dies, but while in Mexico their car with her body inside is stolen."

Notable for: Peter Lorre, of course.

Potential spoiler: "The highlight of the show is Peter Lorre's performance as Salgado. He is delightfully enthusiastic and commands the screen every time he appears. In one funny moment that looks adlibbed, he searches in his pocket for something and pulls out a pair of handcuffs, shrugging and muttering, 'Tools of my trade.'" Source

This is perfect!!

My new shorts!

[peterlorrefanpage]

Yes!!! I forgot all about that 4th picture there. Perfect. I love that jacket, the more details I see of it.

I wonder if that site's "circa 1942" was correct. He does have the correct hair, and his face has slimmed down, but he also does still have that late-30s look about him.

Interestingly, there's a cropped variant out there listed as from the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.

If you've come across any others from what I hope is a true photoset, let me know! That large button at his collar makes it look like he's wearing an overcoat.

And also: Those full lips. Damn. This man was irresistible.

Notable for its suspenseful plot and the extraordinary Peter Lorre, everybody should see this early Hitchcock success at least once.
