Guess who decided to do a part 2 to her Peter Lorre characters in drag post?

First I drew Polo in a Carmen Miranda inspired outfit. I mentioned on the first post that I wanted to draw a Peter character dressed that way because of Slappy Lazslo dressing up as her and @soapkaars suggested Polo wearing the outfit and it distracting people while he pickpockets them. I decided to make the distracted fellow the guy that Fritz Feld played in IWAA who they scam at the beginning and added in Polo's beloved mouse Helping him out

Then Professor Fenninger and Co. From You'll find out. Having faked their deaths and gone on the run in disguise as a young married couple and their darling baby

Next I drew a picture based on an idea @stillwaitin76 shared with me about a 'some like it hot' inspired story starring Peter Lorre and Vincent Price. Although when I drew the picture I think I had a much different vision of how that story would go down in my head than they intended. This was a fun one because even though I love all of the team ups Pete and Vince did together in their older years, it's a shame they never did any films together when they were younger and it was fun having an excuse to imagine them in something together when they were around their late 20s-mid 30sish

And finally, ik I drew Cairo in the last post, but I reeeally wanted to draw him and o Shaughnessy in eachothers outfits

Yknow what I always found super weird about the ending of You'll find out?

Why is Saliano the only one wearing what seems to be just normal clothes when everyone else is wearing Pajamas?

It would be one thing if it was the outfit he was wearing earlier in the film, but its not. He was wearing a tux and then his sorcerer robe. Why did he change into a normal shirt, slacks and suspenders and why didn't Fenninger and Mainwaring aswell???

Even more alternatively

Sorry

I'm the bad humour man

@the-malfunctioning-somnambulist hope this is what you had in mind

[angelamontoo]

Yknow I rag on you'll find out a lot, but I'm pretty sure they do make sure to debunk all of the examples we see of Salianos magic, which is more than you can say about a lot of vintage haunted house/mysticism/general supernatural mystery stories where the twist is that it was all a big scam

Granted, that's not to say none of the explanations lead to more questions like how neither aunt Margo, Janis or any of the houses other staff or guests ever noticed the secret tunnels throughout the Manor before or why they didn't just kill the real Fenninger since he was probably gonna blab about being knocked unconscious on his way to a party that people remember him attending anyway(or at least temporarily kidnap him or even leave RF out of it entirely by having Mainwaring say hell write to him for Janis)or if the cost of all of the villains weird props and the trouble of their plan is even worth the amount of money they're getting from aunt Margo, but still.

And believe me it brings me no joy to admit the film covers all of its bases pretty well in that regard because A:I'm a grown woman who enjoys complaining about potholes in a film from 1940 and B:It spoils a headcanon I was nursing that Prince Saliano and Murder Legendre from White Zombie are the same person

Oh what the hell, thoughts and headcanons for You'll find out

• So I'm gonna be ragging on this poor film pretty hard, so let's start out positive and say that all of the bad guys in this are great-especially Professor Fenninger. I just really enjoy how despite what a silly film this is Peter, Bela and Boris take their roles as seriously as they would in a more dramatic film

• Considering I associate this film with the general theme of obnoxious vintage funnymen making dumb jokes about how spoopy Peter Lorre and similar actors who were typecast as horror guys are, Kay kyser is actually surprisingly enjoyable in this film. I mean I wouldn't be against some of his screen time being handed over to the bad guys or anything, but his reactions to the weirdness going on are actually pretty funny, especially with Aunt Margo at the beginning

• Speaking of, What's the deal with Aunt Margo when we first meet her? Just in the middle of a trance like that. Idk it's not like we don't see her in that state later in the film aswell or anything, but I feel like it would've worked better if she was acting normal till someone brought up the supernatural or Elmer and then she starts acting all weird maybe? Also did she wanna fuck Kay kyser?

• Yknow that Jim Carrey looking guy? Ish kebabble? I. Hate. Him. Soooooo much. It is unreal. He fills me with seething rage with every move he makes. I hate his stupid bowl cut, I hate his stupid dog, I hate that thing he does with his eyes. Stop fucking making that face you fuck! You are being confronted by the supernatural, show some godamn respect! Why did you survive!?

• Speaking of, if there was ever a film where im glad we don't actually see the bad guys die, is it ever this one, lemme tell you. Never have I wanted the villains to have faked their deaths and come back to triumph over the heros more

• Considering we never learn Professor Fenningers real name, I'm a big fan of him potentially being another character Peter Lorre played. I've suggested Gimpy and Cairo before, but maybe even Abbott? Ofc the problem with the Abbott theory is that he's from a pre-hays code film so his death is a lot more explicit and harder to write off as fake

• However, if he's not another Peter character, I HC Professors Fenningers real name to be Moritz Veidt. Just cause I like the way it sounds

• So we can all agree that Fenninger and Mainwaring are fucking right? My personal HC is that they're together and Saliano and Fenninger used to be an item and Saliano isn't over him. Either that or they're both his exes and Mainwaring has the distinction of being the one Fenninger is still kind of attracted to

• I'm a fan of the whole sequence when Ginny is singing 'I'd Know you anywhere' it's a lovely song, I like her voice and I enjoy the simple visuals of it cutting from her to the three villains. It's my favourite musical performance in the film and definitely my favourite scene focusing mainly on one of the nonvillain characters

• Can we talk about Janis finding out that Fenninger was the man creeping on her and Ginny getting changed and being like "Oh thank god, it was only you :)" like...bestie. Yeah, she doesn't know he was only checking to see if she's alive cause he wants her dead, but I don't care how much you think mysticism is bologna, you should not trust some guy you've never met before if the first interaction you two had was him climbing up your balcony and standing outside the transparent door of a room where you were changing just because you're hoping he'll callout your aunts medium for being a fraud

• I remember thinking what a casual that dude Kay Kyser had on his show was for not knowing "hi ho hi ho" was from snow-white since 'we all grew up with that film', then I remembered that dude was an adult when snow-white came out and I felt very strange thinking about just how old the film I was watching really was
