I used my DVR last night to record “Arsenic and Old Lace”. In the morning I decided to transfer this wonderful film onto DVD. While watching, I began to think about how much I loved watching Peter Lorre. He was the man. So, for something different, I linked up to a few YouTube clips of Peter Lorre.

First, Casablanca (1942). Lorre plays the pathetic, Ugarte who entrusts to Rick (Bogart) some letters of transit.

Next, Crime and Punishment in which Raskolnikov (Lorre) meets Sonya (Marian Marsh), a prostitute who is trying to sell her Bible to an old pawnbroker to make ends meet.
