In the pages of The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre, Stephen Youngkin discusses the friendship between Peter Lorre and Humphrey Bogart through the recollections of the people who knew both men, including directors John Huston and Vincent Sherman. Peter counted his pal Bogie as one of his two closest friends – the other being the German playwright Bertolt Brecht.
During the years Peter worked at Warner Brothers, the two actors made a total of four movies together – The Maltese Falcon, All Through the Night, Casablanca, and Passage to Marseille. Their fifth and last movie, Beat the Devil, came 10 years after Passage to Marseille in 1954.
They were also well-known for their practical jokes and hell-raising off-screen.
The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre is available on the Kindle and Nook, as well as hard-back and soft-bound editions.
