In The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre (2005), Stephen D. Youngkin discusses the making of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea through interviews with set designer Harper Goff. For the weekly series Disneyland, Peter appeared with Kirk Douglas (who plays master harpooner Ned Land) to discuss the movie’s “giant squid” sequence. The episode, titled “Monsters of the Deep”, originally aired on Jan. 19, 1955, over ABC.
The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre is now available in soft- and hard-back, as well as the Nook and Kindle.
