That Peter Lorre Voice

Nothing against the entire Mr. & Mrs. North episode from Mystery Playhouse, but I only care about the beginning and the end, because Peter Lorre was hosting.

Hell if I even really hear what he's saying, I'm just so entranced by That Voice. ❤❤

Though the little hehs and his "Goodnight, sleep tight" come through to me, oh yes.

I've been recently listening to Lorre's radio shows and one put such a strong image in my mind that I'm forced to draw it. It’s from Suspense and it’s titled Beyond Good and Evil, where Lorre plays a gangster who kills and takes over a priest’s identity to lay low and plan a heist. The episode has a very disappointing ending (Lorre's character finds god and sacrifices himself) but it opens with this great scene where Lorre is standing at the bed of a paralysed man. The man is described to be lying in bed defenceless and you can hear Lorre gloating over him while he taunts him and tells him his plans. It’s such a powerful scene and you can imagine that if it were acted out, you'd see Peter Lorre dressed up in a cassock with a dog collar getting all up in this man's personal space. In any case, it deserves a drawing.

A link for those who want to hear Lorre harass a paralysed priest:

@peterlorrefanpage I was going through my collection of Peter's radio shows and I found this episode of Nightmare that I never heard before. I didn't see it on your radio list either and I wondered if you knew about this! As with all of the Nightmare shows Peter doesn't act in the story but he does make for an excellent omniscient narrator, introducing the story and making little comments before and after the ad break.

It's a shame that the Nightmare episodes aren't the best audio quality, but apparently it's a wonder that any of them exist at all. There were 53 in total and only 7 episodes survive today. I was going to try to fix some of them if I could, as it sounds like they are playing at the wrong speed.

Do you guys have a least favourite character that Peter Lorre played?

For me it's probably the radio version of Cairo if I'm counting every single thing I've ever seen him in and Siegfried Gruning if I'm just counting his film characters

#peter lorre #lancer spy #sigfried gruning #radio #the maltese falcon #joel cairo #i also really hate baron ikito just off principle #but i turned TIA off like 5 minutes into attempting to watch it do i cant really count him #im also dont really like the radio versions of roderick or leyden #but i can tolerate them way more thwn radio joel #i used to feel like i really disliked gino and paul hyde aswell #theyre both similar to gruning in that i find all 3 of their films too boring to rewatch a lot #but gino and hyde have a lot more interesting moments to me

'The Maltese Falcon' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. “The Maltese Falcon” is a film I imagine I will enjoy a lot more on a second viewing, as this was my first time watching it. The reason I say this is because there are a lot of moving pieces in this film, and it is never boring. However, at times, I found myself trying to follow the story and the plot instead of…

Peter Lorre in "Die heilige Johanna der Schlachthöfe" (Radioausstrahlung, Berlin, Nov 4, 1932)

"Saint Joan of the Slaughterhouses." With Peter Lorre playing Sullivan Slift and Graham.

youtube

ETA: Script!!! In English.

Google translation of the wiki entry:

Saint Joan of the Slaughterhouses, is an epic play by Bertolt Brecht and his co-author Elisabeth Hauptmann and his co-author Emil Burri. It tells the story of Johanna Dark, who wants to bring faith in God to the locked-out workers in Chicago's slaughterhouses. In view of the misery, she tries to persuade the meat industry 's leading entrepreneur, Mauler, to reopen the meat factories, but in the process finds herself getting deeper and deeper into the maelstrom of the meat bosses' economic machinations. Finally, in protest, she goes to the workers who are waiting in the snow at the disused meat yards and witnesses attempts by the workers to defend themselves against the bosses through a general strike. When they entrust her with an important message, she withholds it for fear of causing violent confrontations. This causes the strike to fail. In the end, the dying Johanna realizes that her hope in God and negotiations with the capitalists has failed and that she has only harmed the workers she wanted to help.

Broker Sullivan Slift is supposed to show Johanna the wickedness of the poor so that she loses her pity.

My next door neighbor appeared in nearly nine thousand old time radio shows in the late 1930s, the 1940s, and the 1950s.

According to a 1946 issue of Time Magazine, she had already appeared in almost three thousand different radio shows by 1946.

She was a regular on programs like The Whistler, Escape, Sam Spade, the Phil Harris - Alice Fay Show, the Alan Young Show, Phillip Marlowe, and Suspense. She starred with Peter Lorre in a radio series called Mystery in the Air. She was in most episodes of the Harold Lloyd Comedy Theater. And she was in the original radio pilot of Dragnet. She did well over one hundred shows just for Jack Webb alone.

In the movies she appeared with Orson Welles in Macbeth (1948), acted alongside Henry Fonda in Alfred Hitchcock's The Wrong Man (1956), and she starred in two campy monster movies: The Space Children (1958) and the Screaming Skull (1958).

She knew and worked with Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, Vincent Price, Charlie Chaplin, Lionel Barrymore, Lew Ayres, Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Arch Oboler, Carlton E. Morse, Norman Corwin, Rod Serling, and Jim Backus to name a few.

She started in television before it even existed - way back in 1939 - acting regularly on the experimental station located above the Hollywood sign: Station W6XAO.

She is still alive and doing well. By random coincidence, I happen to live right beside her in Hollywood. We hang out all the time.

Nothing like one of Peter's radio shows to set the mood for Halloween, especially while listening late at night in the dark. Of course, sometimes the experience is a little more... intimate than is decent. For example, I think about this exchange rather too much. I know that his character is lying to her. I know that he's only trying to seduce the servant girl so that he can worm his way closer to the Countess. But to hear him say these romantic things in such a gentle voice... 🔥

The full show can be heard here!

With all the really cool Peter Lorre inspired ocs I've been seeing lately I thought I'd draw some art of the closest thing I have to a Peter Lorre oc

Meet Claude Gauthier(whos name I spelt wrong in the drawing cause I'm stupid and have period brain) he's my interpretation of the unnamed main character from 'The Horla', my favourite of Peter Lorres radio shows

Claudes parents encouraged him to study for a mathematically focused career, but he would have rather studied music. He has been singing and playing the violin since he was young and has taken up writing compositions and various other instruments as a hobby over the years, namely the piano, cello and more recently, the harp and concertina. He's fond of opera, especially French(of course) and German, but he has nostalgia for the hungarian folk music shared with him by his mother and grandmother and a more recent appreciation for American and Irish folk music

He works as an accountant and a tax consultant for a wealthy American, named Declan Fitzsimmons, who has a property and a small company near Paris, inherited from his maternal French family. He and Claude have also been having an affair for the last 12 years

Claude is close with his maid, Marie, who he acts as something of a father figure toward. Many people scoff at how Claude "coddles" his help, but with how difficult life can be for young working girls, Claude sees no harm in giving her some extra change to get a pastry when he sends her off for groceries or letting her sleep in an hour or two every once in a while

#what a swell guy with a nice life!#i sure hope nothing bad happens to him ir any of his loved ones #i have a lot more about his relationship with declan and other characters involved with that #but none of it is really relevant here so eh #but in short dec is madly inlove with him but hes honestly a pretty shitty guy #he has a wife whos madly inlove with him but hes neglectful and intentionally cold to her even when he doesnt need to be #out of some misplaced 'reverence' towards claude #but shes not great either tbh and when she learns about claude she 100% blames him for her husband cheating #also i prefer to assume the horla really was a spirit haunting the main character and not just his imagination #but if it was all in claudes head then it was an intentional scheme by his cousin and her doctor friend to drive him to madness &/or death #and decs wife may or may not have also been involved #peter lorre #the horla #radio #my ocs #my art
