Peter Lorre first played the intrepid and enigmatic Kentaro Moto in Think Fast, Mr. Moto in 1937 and continued on through an additional seven movies, “B” pictures designed as the bottom half of a double-bill. Initially pleased to play a hero instead of another villain at 20th Century-Fox, Peter soon became bored with the series.
Danger Island was the final movie to be filmed, but was released as the seventh in the series. Unlike the others, “Mr. Moto” was not part of the title. To ensure moviegoers realized Danger Island was in the Moto series, the title card reads “Peter Lorre as Mr. Moto in Danger Island” – and ever since then, the film’s title has been erroneously given as Mr. Moto in Danger Island.

The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre may be purchased from Amazon U.S., Amazon Canada, and Amazon U.K, as well as other booksellers.
