Peter Lorre in musical/noir "Casbah" (1948)

"It gave him a new dimension to expand his own acting career."

Peter Lorre as Detective Slimane with Tony Martin as Pépé le Moko (also, wouldn't this be great as a paper doll set?)

Peter looking devilishly divine with that little whippy stick of his that I am 100% normal about...

Such a dear face:

LOTS more under the cut!

Believing Lorre a “dyed-in-the-wool good actor,” Tony Martin, who independently produced Casbah with Nat C. Goldstone, gave the actor room to rework his dialogue: “The night before, when he would get the script, he’d say, ‘I’d like to make this or that change.’ And he’d do it.” Director John Berry likewise, in Martin’s words, “let Lorre have the strength” to carry out his own ideas. The actor welcomed the freedom as well as the opportunity to assume a more contemporary role. “I like the role I’m playing now,” [Lorre] told Martin, “because all I’m doing is being a pursuer.” Martin added that the role was also a challenge: “He loved it, being the great actor that he was. It gave him a new dimension to expand his own acting career and to get out of that Sydney Greenstreet thing he was in. . . . It caught him with a sense of humor and a tenderness. - From "The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre" by Stephen D. Youngkin

"Singing his way through a string of minor musical-comedies had not prepared Martin for a dramatic debut. He knew he needed help. Lorre cast a spell over the actor and then snapped his fingers: “In those days, the black and white pictures, the close-ups, he could hypnotize you, and he could lull you into a deep inner peace. "We'd do a take and I'd be rotten. He’d say, ‘You know, you’re the worst fucking actor I’ve ever seen.’ I’d say, ‘Really?’ He’d say, ‘Yes, nobody worse.’ And we’d start to laugh and the director would say, ‘Alright, let’s go,’ and I’d do a good scene. He had a way of putting me down. He had a psychological way. And we had dinner every night." - From "The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre" by Stephen D. Youngkin

With Thomas Gomez as Louvain:

With Yvonne De Carlo as Inez:

Joined by Märta Torén as Gaby:

With Märta Torén again (and guh, those eyes of his):

Alas, poor Pépé! (But oh, the beautiful brow of our Peter.)

From Ruth Waterbury’s review in the Los Angeles Examiner:

“Lorre as the Inspector who knows he is going to get his man Pepe is utterly wonderful. He’s lazy. He’s catlike. And smart out of this world. Lorre is so consistently good in every picture that they will probably forget his work in ‘Casbah’ when next year’s Academy nominations for ‘best supporting performance’ come around. But I hope they don’t. This smooth job belongs right up among the best.” -From "The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre" by Stephen D. Youngkin

This might sound weird but as a Jew who has always sort of subtly been told that my people are unattractive, undesirable or unpleasant, seeing someone just unabashedly and enthusiastically celebrate even one of us in such a pure way is really heartwarming. Thank you.

This is the sweetest message I have ever received and it means so much to me. It doesn’t sound weird at all and I appreciate you sharing this with me. I’m sorry that anyone has ever made you feel like your culture or genetics or roots are at all an unpleasant thing, because they’re full of shit. People have a tendency to ‘other’ entire swaths of people for no reason and it’s horrible. That’s what’s weird. Listen, all my Jewish friends are gorgeous and thriving and that’s what’s important. I was going to say “ignore the bigots”, but I feel like that’s dismissive and I don’t want to minimize. Try not to let it in though. Go where you’re celebrated. Which, by the way, is exactly what this space of for 💙💙💙

this morning Dan and Irina performed their duet Ultima Noapte live at Radio ZU and talked about how the song was born.

Dan: in January, when the song “Oriunde Ai Fi” started trending, I was sitting at night and this interesting idea came to me. At first I didn't know it would be a duet but and when I decided that it should be, with whom else if not Irina. I don’t know anyone who is more sensitive than Irina.

he also talked about how he was living in Ukraine and was supposed to host the Romanian selection for the Eurovision song contest but at the time the war had just started and so he was stuck in Kyiv. he had booked several flights but each time the flight was canceled. at the first chance he got, he and his production company moved to Bucharest for good.

the radio hosts also asked Irina if she's not afraid that the craziness that happened with Dan and Tina could also happen to her now, and she said that she is already used to it (she is a coach on The Voice Romania) and it would be a compliment because Dan looks very good.

Get ready with me to build a giant wooden horse

Did I just spend 3 days drawing that eyeliner meme? Yes. Yes, I did.

I'm very late to this year's inktober but nevertheless I'm here))) I decided to combine the official prompt list with the classicstober here, specifically prompt 15 - dagger and prompt 20 - Odysseus. I don't know, if I will draw any other prompts, but this one was fun and I hope you like it :)

The dagger was based on Mycenaean daggers in the national archeological museum in Athens and some Mycenaean dagger reproductions I saw, the scene depicted is Odysseus hunting Athena' boar. I hc this dagger was either a gift from Athena herself or from Autolycus, I haven't decided yet.
