Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorre appeared in a total of five movies together. They began with The Maltese Falcon, continued with All Through the Night (1942), Casablanca, and Passage to Marseille (1944) all at Warner Bros., and ended with the independent film Beat the Devil, directed by John Huston, their director on Falcon.
In his book The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre, Stephen D. Youngkin details the many stories about the two actors’ antics and practical jokes both on- and off-set.
Peter counted Bogie as one of his two closest friends – the other being German playwright Bertolt Brecht – and they remained friends to Bogie’s passing in 1957.

Thanks for the information Cheryl although it`s a bit late to go now lol
Sorry you missed it, mabelorre! Have you ever seen any of Peter's movies in a theater? While I haven't seen Beat the Devil on a screen, I've caught The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca many times – as well as Arsenic and Old Lace, Passage to Marseille, M, Mad Love, Secret Agent, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and a couple of the Mr. Moto films. I was also lucky enough to see The Verdict and Three Strangers on a double bill.
That's wonderful, Cheryl! Wish I was closer to Canada, hehe. Just to let you know, I sent you a message on the Peter Lorre message board about the photos we talked about. :)

Well, you never know, Herald -- maybe a theater or library near you will show one (or two or more) of Peter's movies . . .
