In the pages of The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre (2005), author Stephen D. Youngkin discusses the making of Casablanca through interviews with writers, cast members, and crew. Not yet under contract to the Warner Bros. studio, Peter did not consider Casablanca a very important film and claimed he made more money playing roulette on the “casino room” set than he did working before the cameras. The movie also gave Peter a third opportunity to work with Humphrey Bogart, one of his closest friends.
The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre is now available on the Kindle and Nook, as well as hard-back and soft-bound editions.
